93 Good behaviour orders—community service work—
maximum daily hours
(1) An offender must not do, or be credited with, more than 8 hours of
community service work on any day.
(2) To work out the time spent by the offender doing community service
work—
(a) only actual work time, and any breaks from work approved by
the work supervisor or corrections supervisor under section 91,
is counted; and
(b) if the total work time on any day includes part of an hour—that
part is counted as 1 hour.
Examples of maximum daily hours
1 An offender, Sunny, is scheduled to perform 8 hours of community service
work on a particular day. However, Sunny goes home sick after performing
2 hours and 10 minutes of community service work. He must be credited with
having performed 3 hours work on that day.
2 Another offender, Fleur, is scheduled to perform 5 hours of community service
work on that day. However, she works just 35 minutes because of bad weather.
Fleur must be credited with having performed work for 1 hour on that day.
