To add what MX727 posted, from Section 25 M. 3. f.

f. Post Duty Availability


A reserve pilot shall contact CRS at the completion of any assignment that terminates within his R-day. Such contact shall be within 30 minutes after block-in if the assignment was a trip or within 30 minutes after the conclusion of any other assignment (e.g., simulator). If the pilot is not given another assignment for that duty period, he shall be released for a minimum rest period of 10 hours.

Bold added by me
