Section 64 — Sentencing Act 2002: When community work must be done

64 When community work must be done (1) If community work is to be done on placement with an agency other than a community work centre, the days on which and the times at which the offender does the work must be fixed by agreement between a probation officer and the agency and notified in writing to the offender. (2) If the community work is to be done on placement at a community work centre, the days on which and the times at which the offender performs the work must be determined by a probation officer and notified in writing to the offender. (3) It is not necessary for all the periods of work to be of the same duration, but no period may be longer than 10 hours and no offender may be required to do more than 40 hours of community work per week. (4) The times at which the offender is required to report, and the periods during which he or she is required to do community work, must be such as to avoid interference, so far as practicable, with the offender's attendance at any place of education or employment, or with his or her religious observances.
