Similar to rotations. You can be removed as a reserve at any time from a rotation prior to report. At least with rotations, if you’re unaware and report anyway, you’re due suit up pay. Not so much for a removed short call.
I’ve been paid for SC periods improperly removed within 18 hours. They have no way to notify you and I’ve always made the argument that I started SC at the assigned time because I was never notified of anything different. Even sitting 1 minute of SC warrants SCC paid if unused.
