It seems that different entities (or branches of) have different interpretations of what this means. Why can't hours worked actually mean productive work (such as this explains). The IRS has a different meaning. For Example: our 401(k) plan requires that we use hours worked for hours of service to compute vesting percentages. That includes any PTO used as well as holidays.
