You just lose the pay for the trip and the hours get restored to your sick bank. Basically, you just dropped the trip for no pay.
Oh, and when they DROP the trip, there is NO CREDIT to the make-up bank.
That's a negative consequence, otherwise known as discipline.
If you simply drop a trip, you are given the opportunity to make it up at some point in the future. If The Company doesn't like your sick excuse, you're out the pay, and you don't get to make it up.
