So one day you might credit 1:50, another day 2:55, the next 5:45, so on and so forth. If at the end of the month your credit is 74.9, you get your guarantee of 75 hours. If your credit is 75:01, you now broke guarantee. So every day you were not called, or were called and used less than 3.75, those days come up to 3.75 credit. I had one month were I started the last day of the month at 73.5 credit, made it over 75, and ended up with 98 credit for the month. Made 25 hours in one day. Ive broken guarantee once in about a year. And I spend most of my time on call first. CS definitely keeps an eye on your credit. Many have been used like crazy for the first 3 weeks of a month, get to around 70 hours, and then hear nothing from CS. Back to the question about sick time going towards breaking guarantee, Im sure you can imagine how may call in "sick" on their last day of RSV for the month when they have 72 hours credited....
That sounds like crap... Basically you've just described both types of reserve at once at Mesaba. Straight you get nothing for a day not called no matter what you credit for the month. Build up you get the 3.75 credit for a day not called no matter what you credit for the month.
