Basically, am I required to make a schedule check (like last X day) 9 hours prior to the end of my rest period?
Thanks.
You have no obligation to check your schedule during assigned rest.
At the end of the rest period you simply go on long call.
The exception is if you have been notified of an assignment
PRIOR to the start of your rest period.
ie= They can assign you 30 hours of rest with a report for a trip or start of short call one minute after your rest ends -- but they have to notify you
before the rest period begins.
Also be careful of 6 hours assigned rest followed by a single X day. That's often how they handle single X days. ie= Assigned rest from 6 PM to midnight on Tuesday when Wednesday is an X day.
In that case you are getting your legal 30 hour break but you
DO have to check your schedule after 3 PM on the "last X day".
