This entitles you to 01:13 on your next day of work, so instead of being able to get scheduled a trip at 6 am, the earliest you can get scheduled is 7:13, and the earliest short call you can get is 6:13. or if nothing is on your schedule by 3 pm they could call you 1:13 am for a 1:13 pm show. I was in about an hour past midnight, and they scheduled me for 8 am short call my next day on, which is what they would've given me anyway so it didn't help much.
This is not right. You get whatever you duty off + 9 hours. If you block in at 00:43, you duty off at 01:13. 9 hours later is 10:13am. On your next res day, 10:13am is your new midnight. Your res day starts at 10:13 am. You are required to check your schedule after 1:13 am. If nothing is on there at this time (not very likely), you go on long call at 10:13 am.
This does not happen automatically. You have to call a scheduler and tell them. It will be marked on your schedule as a partial x-day.
