"within the month" is the key. If you have no more RES days in the month in which you GS, those PD's go in the bank. They do not go into the next month even if you're on RES in successive months.

As was said above, if you do not have any more LC days left in the month they go into the bank. Also, if you are scheduled or actually block in at or after 1431 you'll get an additional banked PB day, since you would be due 4 PB days + a PR, and with no more LC left the PR (even if it's just a single minute) converts to a full day in the bank.

One more question. So they convert to supplemental vacation days in the start of the next vacation year. Does that mean if I bank a payback day in February that it converts in March?

Do you mean a new Banked PB day in February? That would be a 2023 day, and wouldn't convert to a supplemental vacation day until 2024. You can still 'use' 2022 Banked PB days until march 2023, you just have to go thorough an extra step through CS directly instead of iCrew.

It’s not “within the month”, it’s within the bid period.

Feb bid period includes 31 Jan and 1 Mar.

Unused PB days at end of the year is covered under Sched Alert 19-12

Other PB day sched alerts include 21-11 (Usage) and 22-01 (Enhancements)

Fangs, is it possible to keep your carryover payback days till the start of the vacation year by submitted the sched worksheet?

Im not exactly sure what you are asking. You can use 2022 Banked PB days to drop rotations in Jan, Feb, and March 2023 by submitting a PD/APD, then call CS once awarded to place 2022 Banked PB days on the days desired for said PD/APD. Does that help?

Otherwise, banked PB days automatically convert to Supp Vacation days and attached to vacation weeks with vacation bidding in Jan/Feb.

PB days from the calendar year are all added to vacation for the bid for the following vacation year as supplemental days. They remain available to use as PB days for the January-march bid periods. If you use them they are taken off of awarded awarded vacation.

Scheduling Alert 20-25 is a great start on what happens to PB days, how to use them, and how they convert to vacation days.

Q about APD and PB with a rotation near holidays.

I’m aware of the 2 prior/1 after provision of APDs. My question is does it apply to the entire rotation or the individual day if only using APD on one day of the trip to drop it. Example

3-day from 12/28-30 releasing after midnight. No dates are on a holiday but 30 is within the 2 prior window of New Years Day. All dates have 25% coverage. Can I use a singular date APD request on the 28 or 29th to drop the rotation or will the 30th (last day) be an issue since it’s within 2 days. Wasn’t sure if the 30th would be considered if using a singular day APD to drop. Also if using the singular day I’m pretty sure I can use multiple PB days to cover the trip, yes?
