Intent of the process

This process is intended to build the detachment’s inventory to meet their future casual employment needs in similar vacancies, at either full-time, part-time, or as and when required. Casual employment is temporary employment of 90 working days or less, in a calendar year, to meet needs from such contingencies as vacations, sick and training leaves, to conduct special projects that are anticipated but dependent of the availability of funds. Individuals hired on a casual basis CANNOT work for more than 90 working days per calendar year within the RCMP, and CANNOT apply on internal opportunities as they are NOT hired as Public Service Employees. There should be no expectation of continued employment following a casual employment contract.
