I have personal experience in this field. As long as you take a single vacation day during that month of all off then you get the two commute days. I spent over 6 months arguing with them 2 years ago about this. Finally they told me that if I would have just put a vacation day in the month of June I could have my commute days. Well, duh!!!! Why didn't you tell me that when I put my days off in? So we retroactively changed a day to vacation. Like pulling teeth with these people sometimes..
