Profession range from approximately $37,000 a year for new recruits with little or no experience, to $70,000 a year for senior officers with many years of experience. The national average salary is likely somewhere between $45,000 and $55,000 a year.
Earnings also depend on the level of government, or the province, that the officer works for. Federal correctional officers usually make more than provincial officers, and salaries in some provinces are higher than others.
Overtime work may sometimes be necessary, offering the opportunity to earn extra money. In addition to their salaries, full-time officers also receive benefits, such as paid vacation time, sick leave, and pension benefits equal to a percentage of their salaries. Many correctional officers are unionized. Benefits and salary levels for these officers are negotiated on their behalf by union representatives.
