Given the company’s multiple attempts at a “calculator” and the reports of how they are trying to “add” payback days, it seems they have finally figured out the glitch and we will start seeing “correct” calculations soon.
I think you're hammering a technical point that's not in contention. Scenario #3 and #4 which dig into what you're talking through are very clear. I think Fangs is saying that the way the company actually does it, via precedent, is different.
i.e. what scheduling "actually does" is look to see if there is a PB on that
calendar day (yes or no), and then they just go from there. If they did it the way the SRH outlines in scenario #3 and #4, then yeah, I think it matters.
Recently the union had put out a bunch of stuff on this.
I feel like what scheduling does in these scenarios is to "round up" a PR to a PB (first thing they do), then tack on a new PR for rotations that block in after 1430. Like, a 2-day GS releasing after 1500 would turn PB PB PR into GS GS PB PB
PB PR.
