Why is it that when we work our day off for a Code 3, we only get paid 50% of our daily pay, and when we take that Code 3 (XDay) we get paid nothing for that day. That just seems so unfair! So we are working on our day off for half the pay and no pay for the XDay. I thought I was getting paid for the XDay and found out that I am not!!

The X-day is not paid because it takes the place of your Relief Day that you did work. You simply swapped your Day Off for another but since you did swap, you do get the extra 50% pay. Had you not done the “swap” of your Relief Day, you would have been paid 150% & no time off at all.

How so? You still get a Day off at a later date plus extra pay for working.
Some mgmt allow carriers to pick the day for the X. For some that is a big plus so they don’t have to burn AL or SL for a day they need to be off.
