Also, if they are short and can't get coverage you can sit reserve for an extra 3.75 per day which will be paid above and beyond your guarantee. And if you do it within the JR man window, if they call you you'll get 150% your hourly rate.
Something to think about but be careful, some don't like it when you try to make more money. Just don't do it at someone else's expense.
