196 Working out compensation for parts of weeks
(1) The Commonwealth is liable to pay compensation under section 85, 86, 87 or 118 for a part of a week rather than a whole week if a person satisfies subsection 85(1), 86(1), 87(1) or 118(1) for the part of the week.
(2) The following formula sets out how to work out the amount of compensation that the Commonwealth is liable to pay to a person for a part of a week rather than a whole week:

number of days means:
(a) if the person is entitled to compensation under section 118 and Division 6 of Part 4 applies to the person—7; and
(b) if the person is entitled to compensation under section 87—the number of days prescribed by the regulations in respect of the person; and
(c) otherwise:
(i) 5; or
(ii) if the Commission determines another number as the number of days that the person would normally work in the part of the week—that other number.
Note 1: Division 6 of Part 4 applies to former part‑time Reservists who are incapacitated for work but who did not engage in civilian work before last ceasing to be a member of the Defence Force.
Note 2: Section 87 applies to incapacitated cadets and declared members.
