The only method the company has to pay this properly is the F code. A G code will ever only pay premium on the duty day(s) that are over X days. The F code bumps the first duty period (on a LC day) to pay/no credit above RES guarantee. You never get/need an F code for a GS from X days to LC days because you are already getting the first duty period paid above guarantee with the G code since it is a X day.

As I said earlier, the F code is really poorly named. But because it's called "less than 18 hours to report" people just get stuck up on that and can't realize that it has other applications as well. Literally last month, on LC XX XX, the day prior to my last LC day I got called in the afternoon for a GS reporting late the next night on my last LC day. Well over 18 hours to report. It was awarded and coded immediately by scheduling as an F code. Full rotation pay since the F code paid day 1 on top of guarantee and the other 2 days were on X days so that was on top of guarantee as well. Again I do this probably a couple of times a year as a serial RES bidder. I only ever do it on LC going into X days, usually more than 18 hours to report, and every single time it's been coded as F, or if scheduling intially coded it G I called and they immediately switched it to F.
