This isn't a hard fast rule as sometimes the guys who just want to earn a steady paycheck get shafted and are stuck out as much as 18 days; and the same for the guys who want OT, they may only work a 12 day month sometimes.
Guarantee is 12 days off a month, 6 hard where they can't touch you; 6 soft where you can be "non volunteered" - this is a rarity. One can always volunteer your off days. Pay is an extra 3.6 hours on top of whatever you have earned.
Thanks, very informative.
Since you're understaffed, do you have many reserves, or does most everyone have a regular line?
