I'm trying to figure out what to do to knock some days out. Should I protect min days off?
If you protect min days off:
Assuming 7 days vacation (7 X 6 = 42 credit hours) Leaving 11 days.
You will be awarded 2 R days and then removed from them for training (goes into your makeup bank)
You will be left with 10 R days and because you have a VTO line they can put them anywhere except 2 days prior until 2 days after your vacation and 12 hours either side of your training.
Pay will be calculated: 42 + ( 10 X R Day value)
Your training will be paid in the following month
Hope this helps
