​What is UROC?

• The Unrostered Overtime and Callback Claims (UROC) system provides an online facility for Junior Medical Officers to claim unrostered overtime, callbacks and missed meal breaks all within the same application.
• You can create:
• a claim for unrostered overtime (and claim for a meal allowance where eligible within the same claim).
• a claim for callbacks (recalled for duty).
• a claim for missed meal breaks
• All claims are reviewed by your JMO unit or equivalent for processing into payroll. On occasions if you have missed important details in your claim, your JMO unit may return your claim to you to update before it is processed.
