From what I've read the contract seems to be too vague. I don't see any specific section that talks about extensions other than they have to be paid at 150%. Let me know if you find anything different.

And this is where management and Association leadership need to get together now. (Not weeks or months from now) A competitive compensation package needs to be put into the works now. Did I say now? Yea, because it's needed now.

Yes. And since your 30 hours doesn't even need to be in base they could theoretically keep you on the road for the full month.

Don't come here unless you think getting extended into your day off is no big deal. This place repeatedly deals with staffing issues by call you on your last day and making you work on a day off. There is nothing you can do about it. Have a vacation planned? Need to be home for a family event? You can't plan on it here. There are a lot of better options.
