                         Subpart D--Computations
 
Sec. 842.402  Definitions.

    In this subpart--
    Full-time service means any actual service in which the employee is 
scheduled to work the number of hours and days required by the 
administrative workweek for his or her grade or class (normally 40 
hours).
    Part-time service means any actual service performed on a less than 
full-time basis, by an individual whose appointment describes a 
regularly scheduled tour of duty, and any period of time credited as 
nonpay status time under 5 U.S.C 8411(d), that follows a period of part-
time service without any intervening period of actual service other than 
part-time service.
    Proration factor means a fraction expressed as a percentage rounded 
to the nearest percent. The numerator is the sum of the number of hours 
the employee actually worked during part-time service; and the 
denominator is the sum of the number of hours that a full-time employee 
would be scheduled to work during the same period of service included in 
the numerator. If an employee has creditable service in addition to 
part-time service, such service must be included in the numerator and 
denominator of the fraction.

    Total service means the full years and twelfth parts thereof of an 
employee's or Member's service creditable under subpart C of this part, 
excluding any fractional part of a month.
