MATTER OF: Dr. David Pass -LEntitlement  of Consultant to
               Leave and Travel ExpensesJ

 DIGEST:   1. Individual, who worked 80 or more hours during
              most of 13-month period he served as a consult-
              ant, claims entitlement to leave benefits. Al-
              though consultant worked along side of regular
              full-time employees, he did not serve regular
              tour of duty and is therefore not entitled to
              leave benefits. See Copp Collins, 58 Comp.
              Gen. 167 (1978).

           2. Consultant, who was appointed on intermittent
              basis, automatically becomes employed on tempo-
              rary basis after 130 days of service. As a tempo-
              rarily employed consultant he must bear the cost
              of travel between his residence and place of em-
              ployment, as well as his expenses while at his
              official station. Erroneous travel payments must
              be collected and may not be waived. Harvey J.
              Nozick, B-187389, July 19, 1978. In addition,
              claim for attorney fees incurred in connection
              with this matter may not be allowed.

   This decision is in response to the request of Mr. Larry E.
Byrne, Director, Personnel Systems and Payroll Division, De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), concerning
the entitlement of Dr. David Pass, a HUD employee, to annual
and sick leave while he was previously employed by HUD as a
consultant. The agency has also questioned Dr. Pass' entitle-
ment to travel expenses during the period he was employed as
a consultant.

   Dr. Pass was employed by the New Communities Adminis-
tration of HUD as a consultant from July 2, 1973 until August 18,
1974, when he received a permanent appointment with HUD.
While serving as a consultant, Dr. Pass worked a full schedule
during many pay periods, but the agency states there is no docu-
mentation indicating that he had an established regular tour of
duty. For this reason and because the Standard Form 50 issued
