Well, normally, days off should be taken at base but are you referring to minimum days off required at base, per month, or rest periods, days off, away from base?
Depending on the applicable regulations a crew member may agree to a temporary basing, but often regulations stipulate that a crew member may operate a maximum of circa 7 days before requiring a day off to thereafter continue duty days, often that day off may be anywhere but there should be a stipulated number of days off per month at base unless otherwise agreed.
Yes, legally required days off can be scheduled away from base but you still need your monthly, or whatever, days off at base depending upon the regulations.
