That is the precedent. Your opinion is just your opinion.
Its not a precedent, only a previous CR can be a precedent for future CR. VR is very different to CR, they were trying to get people to volunteer with VR. With CR the employee has no choice so the company may be less likely to make payments that they don’t have to.
My statement wasn’t an opinion, it’s a statement of fact. Under the agreement they can give notice or payment in lieu of notice. The minimum cost to the company under current stand down provisions is to let the employee serve out the notice period on stand down. They may choose not to do it, but that is entirely up to the company.
