What is lost time?

What is lost time?

• A. When you need to request time off from part of your tour
• B. When you take overtime
• C. When you are late for shift
• D. When you miss a training

Answer: (A)

Lost time means the portion of your scheduled tour that you are paid for but do not work because you have taken approved time off from part of your shift. This is why requesting time off during your tour is categorized as lost time—you’re not on duty for those hours. Overtime refers to extra hours worked beyond the regular tour, so it isn’t lost time. Being late still counts as time on duty, just starting late. Missing training is an absence from a scheduled activity, but it isn’t the standard lost-time category defined as time off from part of the tour.
