You don’t get paid or use vacation for buffer R days that are removed. The buffers simply are free of duty. The R days dropped due to buffer are restored later on in reconstruction. Also, we won a grievance and later on in the month, when the month is active, CRS can NOT use their “move an R day” option to move an R day into your buffer. It remains free of duty when constructed, and during your active month. But, YOU can take an action during the active month that puts a make up trip into your buffer, though.
