If comp time is earned by a Civilian Employee, how many days does the employee have to use it?

• A. 52 weeks
• B. 26 pay periods
• C. 12 months
• D. 52 weeks or 26 pay periods

Answer: (D)

Comp time earned by a Civilian Employee must be used within one year from the date it is earned. That one-year window can be measured either as 52 weeks or as 26 pay periods, depending on whether time is tracked by calendar weeks or by pay periods. So the deadline to use compensatory time is within 52 weeks or within 26 pay periods.
