  - (1) The number of officially established hours per pay period to be worked by a phased retiree, as described in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section; by
  - (2) The number of hours per pay period to be worked by an employee serving in a comparable position on a full-time basis.
- (b) The number of officially established hours per pay period to be worked by an employee in phased retirement status must equal one-half the number of hours the phased retiree would have been scheduled to work had the phased retiree remained in a full-time work schedule and not elected to enter phased retirement status. These hours make up the officially established part-time work schedule of the phased retiree and exclude any additional hours worked under [§ 848.205(j)](/cfr/5/848.205.md?p=j).
