Rose - Return to duty station on nonworkdays Employee who voluntarily returns from a temporary duty point to his official station for weekends or other nonworkdays is limited by section 6. 5c of the Standardized Government Travel Regulations to reimbursement for the travel expenses occasioned by such return based on the amount of per diem he would have received if ho had remained at the temporary duty point for those nonworkdays. The travel policy expressed at 5 U. S. C. S 6101(b)(2) (1970) does not require agencies to return employees to their permanent duty stations for nonworkdays. This decision is rendered upon the request of 7\r. John. 1B. Rose, an employee of the Department of Transportation, for reconsideration of the determination reached in our Transportation and Clains Divi- sion's Settlement Certificate No, Z-2500293, dated January 8, 1974, denying his clair for additional travel expenses. The additional expenses claimed by Mr. Rose were incurred by him in connection with voluntarily returning to his home or sorne alternate location during the weekends or other nonworkdays that fell within the periods of his temporary duty assignments in October and November of 1971. His claim for the amount by which his round-trip travel expenses on those occasions exceeded the per diem allowance to which he was entitled for the nonworkdays involved was initially denied by the Department of Transportation under paragraphs 743 and 744 of FAA Handbook 1500..13, Travel, July 30, 1968. The regulation relied on by the Department of Transportation is the Federal Aviation Administration's implementation of the following language of section 6. 5c of the Standardized Government Travel Regu- lations (SGTR), Cffice of Mv'anagement and Budget Circular No. A-7, effective Cctober 10, 1971: Return to official station on nonworkdays.
