Minimum Days Off and Reserve Guarantee (Sections 4.O. & 8.I.1.) 

Reserves will be relieved of all duties for at least 12 calendar days in a bid month at their home domicile. Reserve Lines constructed with 12 days off will be guaranteed 78 hours for the month. 

When company manpower requirements permit, Reserve Lines may be built with up to 16 calendar days off in a month. For Reserve Lines built with more than 12 days off, the Reserve guarantee will be proportionately reduced for each day off in addition to 12: 

• In a 30-day month, the Reserve guarantee will be reduced by 4:20 per additional day off. 

• In a 31-day month, the Reserve guarantee will be reduced by 4:07 per additional day off.
