PART 1656_ALTERNATIVE SERVICE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1656.18  Computation of creditable time.

    (a) Creditable time starts when the ASW begins work pursuant to an 
Order to Perform Alternative Service or 30 days after the issuance of 
such order, whichever occurs first. Creditable time will accumulate 
except for periods of:
    (1) Work of less than 35 hours a week or an employer's full-time 
work week whichever is greater;
    (2) Leaves of absence in a calendar year of more than 5 days in the 
aggregate granted by the employer to the ASW to attend to his personal 
affairs unless such absence is approved by the ASOM;
    (3) Time during which an ASW fails or neglects to perform 
satisfactorily his assigned Alternative Service;
    (4) Time during which the ASOM determines that work of the ASW is 
unsatisfactory because of his failure to comply with reasonable 
requirements of his employer;
    (5) Time during which the ASW is not employed in an approved job 
because of his own fault; or
    (6) Time during which the ASW is in a postponement period or his 
Order to Perform Alternative Service has been suspended.
    (b) Creditable time will be awarded for periods of travel, job 
placement and job interviews performed under orders issued by Selective 
Service. Creditable time may be awarded for normal employer leave 
periods.
    (c) Creditable time will be awarded to an ASW for the time lost 
after he leaves his job assignment following his request for 
reassignment on the basis of Sec. 1656.13(b) of this part until he is 
reassigned pursuant to Sec. 1656.13 (c) or (f) of this part. Creditable 
time for the corresponding period will be lost if neither the ASOM nor 
the District Appeal Board orders the ASW's reassignment on the basis of 
Sec. 1656.12(a)(1) of this part.
