How is max. duty hours calculated when AL is allocated?

Looks like my post fell victim to moderation

Can any VB crew please explain how our maximum duty hours are calculated during a month where annual leave is allocated?

31 (a) of the EBA states that cabin crew will typically be rostered 125 duty hours per month and will not be rostered or work more than 140 hours per month.

31 (c) states that maximum hours will be pro rata the remainder of that roster period where annual leave is taken.

If rosters are typically built with a 125-130 hour target per month, then how is maximum duty hours calculated during a month where leave is allocated? Is it prorated on 125-130 hours or prorated on the full limit of 140 hours?

I can't seem to find a pattern during the months I have been allocated leave and am wondering whether I am calculating it incorrectly as the duty hours I have been rostered in some months are much higher than the maximum duty hours allowable from my calculations.
