Washington, D.C. 20406 Dear Mr. Schaeffer: Under current travel regulations as interpreted by GAO decisions, civilian employees of the Govern- ment on temporary duty assignments, who voluntarily travel on nonworkdays to a place other than their of- ficial duty stations, are reimbursed differently de- pending upon whether the employee is authorized a flat per diem rate or is reimbursed under the lodgings- plus system or paid actual subsistence expenses. Paragraphs 1-7.5c and 1-8.4f of the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973) provide that an employee on temporary duty may voluntarily return on nonworkdays to his official duty station or place of abode and be reimbursed for transportation and per diem or actual subsistence en route, not to exceed the amount which would have been allowed had the em- ployee remained at his TDY station. Howard E. Johnson, 59 Comp. Gen. 293 (1980); Thomas Anderson, B-200601, July 31, 1981. Where an employee on temporary duty travels on his nonworkdays to a location other than his headquarters or residence those provisions for reimbursement of round-trip transportation and per diem or actual subsistence en route are not applicable. Lewis T. Moore, B-198827, August 3, 1981.
