There is a big difference between a REG trip that spills into a RES month, and a REG trip that ends on the last day of the bid period with LC starting the next day. A spill trip, as I said on my post above, ends with you as a reserve pilot with the required post-rotation schedule check. Assuming no future assignment you go immediately onto LC upon release from the rotation. If a REG pilot ends a trip on the last day of the bid period, they are still a REG pilot and have no required schedule check. That day is also not a non-fly day so there is no way for scheduling to assign them an early report on their first day of LC. They just start LC at midnight on the first day of the bid period and scheduling must contact them at that point to assign anything starting at 1800 or later.
