Right.
Alternate solution like JB uses, and a way my former was exploring;
Vacation deducts the contractual minimum from the bank. But for line construction purpose, it's worth an inflated/"virtual" amount of credit. Say, 35-40 hours. The program only has to find the remaining credit to put on your line to hit whatever threshold is governing. Min guaranty, a line divisor, AVL, whatever.
Of course, one can get "screwed". But just like ANY OTHER SYSTEM, especially PBS, read the manual/talk to a trainer and KNOW THE SYSTEM.
Or do like the old guys, have you grand kid bid for you.
