Let four underblocks by 30 minutes (it's go-home leg with a headwind!).
With per-leg block or better, you make 29 minutes of pay on the day.
With per-day block or better, you make NO EXTRA PAY on that day, yet you have to work the same length of time.

The best example is having a weather delay where you sit on the ground for an hour. So you are +1 hour. Now you spend the entire day trying to catch back up so the rest of your flights are early which eats up the entire extra hour you made in the morning. If it was per leg then that +1 is protected no matter what happens the rest of the day.
