Typically? For us it's straight pay within footprint although it's always pay protected for the original value. So if your new reassignment is worth less, then you still get paid for the higher original value. Outside the footprint, it's ALWAYS 150%.
Anecdotal point: in almost 10 years, I've never had this happen to me.

They have no policy or precedent which requires, after a reflow, that you buy a hotel nearby to ensure you can get back to work quickly.
Well, that needs to be fixed! That's bs.

Important point: can XJT be junior manned (involuntary) into a day off, ie can they extend your trip or catch you on duty to assign another trip on your days off?
At xjt, technically, you cannot refuse a reassignment or junior man. But people do it all the time. But yeah, they can roll your day off. If they do, they have to restore your day off or pay you 150% unless you are at minimum days off (12 days off), then you get both your day restored and 150%. For all intents and purposes, it's voluntary.
Another anecdotal point: I've only had a day rolled once. That's because a weather delay had us time out at an outstation.
