pay status during the training assignment. If the employee is not in pay 
status during the training, the employee is counted as being in training 
for the number of hours he or she is granted leave without pay for the 
purpose of the training.
    (b) For an employee on an alternative work schedule, the agency is 
responsible for determining the number of hours the employee is in pay 
status during the training assignment. If the employee is not in pay 
status during the training, the employee is counted as being in training 
for the number of hours he or she is granted leave without pay for the 
purpose of the training.
    (c) An employee on an 8-hour or an alternative work schedule 
assigned to training on less than a full-time basis is counted as being 
in training for the number of hours he or she spends in class, in formal 
computer-based training, in satellite training, in formal self-study 
programs, or with the training instructor, unless a different method is 
determined by the agency.
    (d) When an employee is pursuing an academic degree through an 
agency academic degree training program, an agency may compute the 
length of the academic degree training period based on the academic 
institution's established contact hours.
