Stagger those through 4 layers. Make sure to check include standups.

The PBS helpline people walked me through the procedure and it worked to perfection. oh and at the time I was only 3 months off IOE. I got 9 days off in a row. Gave away one standup which then gave me 12 days off. The only downside was I worked like 10 days in row at the end of the month.
