Will the company remove 3 more reserve days to get me to my 48 hours of vacation, or will the 12 hour surplus go into my vacation bank? Thanks.
8 days gets you 8 days of reserve off and the vacation bank is reduced by 8x the R day value for the month. If you want to use more hours then you need to complete a reserve EXTENSION, all very clear in section 7. It is all accomplished in the bid period processing window. Buffer days can be waived and are added to the ends of the 8 days or the number you extend. Try and get your R days remaining to reside AFTER your vacation days so you are leveled...
