Joyce H. Kingfisher - Transfer - Expenses at Old
Duty Station


JIGEST:         Employee was notified about November 2, 1976,
                that she would be transferred in about 4 weeks.
                After she told landlord of transfer, he ordered
                her to vacate by December 15, 1976, or be evicted.
                Agency then issued transfer ocder effective
                December 12, 1976, and authorized temporary duty
                and per diem at old duty station from December 13
                to 23, 1976.  While per diem may not ordinarily be
                paid at permanent duty station, employee may be
                paid expenses, not to exceed temporary quarters
                allowance, since agency determined she should not
                suffer financially because of its delay and tem-
                porary quarters allowance could bave been autho-
                rized.

     This matter concerns the request of Robert Caswell, a certifying
officer, for an advance decision as to the propriety of paying the
claim of Joyce M. Kingfisher, an employee of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA), Department of the Interior, for per diem in lieu of
subsistence while performing temporary duty at Hugo, Oklahoma.

     The submission contains a statement rom the Acting Area
Director (BIA), that Ms. Kingfisher enter d into temporary duty
status at Hugo one day after her appointm at and authorized lateral
transfer from Hugi to a position with BIA in the Dallas Fi'ild
Employment Assistance Office, Dallas, Texas. The appointment and
the accompanying transfer wee  formalized by documents approved
December 13, 1976, with an effective date of December 12, 1976, in
accordance with verbal orders of December 10, 1976. The transfer
was made pursuant to a req-est submitted by the Area Employment
Assistance Officer on Noveber  2, 1976, for the lateral transfer
of Ms. Kingfisher, Employment Assistance Technician, to the position
of Vocational Development Specialist, Dallas Field Employment
Assistance Office, as soon as possible.
