FINDINGS:
The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

 This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.
 Form 1 Award No. 29296
 Page 5 Docket No. SG-29807
 92-3-91-3-187
 Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing
 thereon.
 This dispute involves seven Claims, identified as Cases No. 1-7.
 Case No. 1 will be treated separately; Cases No. 2-7 are identical except for
 the month involved and will be treated as one Claim.

 Claimant is a monthly-rated Traveling Signal Maintainer employed under the provisions of Rule 49 of the Agreement. Rule 49 provides chat his monthly rate of pay covers all service performed, including overtime, holiday service and service on the sixth day of the work week, up to 213 hours in a calendar month. The Rule also provides that actual time worked or held for duty exclusive of assigned rest days in excess of the 213 hours in a calendar month will be paid for at the overtime rate.

 In the event that Claimant's services might be required on the sixth day of the work week, he was instructed to give his Supervisor a telephone number where he would be available to be contacted on that day.

 Turning first to Case No. 1, where the Carrier had deducted $131.25 from Claimant's pay for missing a standby call on January 13, the sixth day of the work week, the record shows that Claimant's actual time worked for the month of January was 180 straight-time hours and 28 1/2 overtime hours. Had Claimant been available for service on January 13, any time worked would have had to be paid at the overtime rate, and we find that his pay is thus not subject to reduction for missing a call. Carrier has therefore failed to sustain its burden of proof in justifying this deduction, and we will sustain the Claim in Case No. 1.

 Turning next to Cases 2-7, the Organization contends that Claimant was being held for duty on the sixth day of each work week covered by the Claims, and should be compensated at the overtime rate for those days whether or not he performed any service.

 After reviewing the record in this dispute, it is clear that all that was required of Claimant was that he be available for contact by telephone on the sixth day in the event his services were required. Since his monthly rate of pay includes compensation for the sixth day, whether or not he performs any service, the Carrier can legitimately require that he make himself available in this manner, and we find that the Organization has failed to carry its burden of proof that he was being held for duty on those days.

 The Board has previously denied Claims involving this identical issue in disputes between the same parties (Third Division Awards 29209 and 13121) and we find no reason to depart from those precedents. We will accordingly deny the Claims in Cases No. 2-7.
