You can refer to the org structure on Customs website for an overview of what the division does. In short, enforcement is mainly conducted by the intelligence and investigation department.

Yes but not all units in checkpoints - most though, offer shift allowance as they do shift work.

Do you know how much the shift allowance is?

Hi everyone. I am from the private sector and have received verbal offers from 2 gov agencies so far. I heard that if you are currently in a gov agency and are moving to another gov agency (gov to gov), HR will contact the HR of your current gov agency to do reference checks. But if I am from private sector, will the HR of the gov agency still contact the HR of my current private company to check? And if they do, will they ask for my permission first?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, yes they do reference checks with privacy companies too, it’s a regulation by Vital and Govt HR depts to do reference checks regardless of whether your past employment is govt or private sector. And no, they don’t need your permission because when you apply for the post via Careers@Gov or the direct agency website, you have already consented to them conducting background and employment checks
