| Lost Time Start Date | | Description | Lost Time Start Date is the calendar date of the first day of a period of time that is not creditable in calculating a DoD Military Service member's creditable Service.
Usage
Lost Time Start Date is set when a DoD Military Service member's duty status changes to reflect an unauthorized absence, civil or military confinement, or sickness due to misconduct in excess of twenty-four hours when such absence has not been otherwise excused. Lost Time Start Date is used in conjunction with Lost Time Stop Date by the Business Rule "Determine A Period Of Lost Time" to calculate the duration of a period of lost time. Periods of lost time are used to determine a DoD Military Service member's eligibility for retirement and discharge from Active Duty and whether the DoD Military Service member has met an established Service obligation. | |
