The federal labour board partly allowed a correctional detector dog handler's grievance, finding that mandatory kennel work before and after training was compensable overtime rather than work covered by his standard dog care allowance. The board also granted contractual call back pay but denied shift and weekend premiums because he was scheduled as a day worker during training.
