The timeperiods only cover alerting coverage for that particular service, as referenced by the notification_period directive in services.cfg.

To specify how often services are checked, normal_check_interval is what you need (here, we check every 2 minutes), then we retry on failure every 1 minute, and notify every 20 minutes until the service comes good or is acknowledged. We also check the service 3 times before alerting (i.e. the failure, then two retries).
Code:
define service {
        ...
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           2
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_interval           20
        notification_period             mytimeperiod
        ...
}
Cheers
