Sullivan - Weekend personal travel Employee whose official duty station was Birmingham, Alabama, and who was performing temporary duty in Washington, D.C., traveled to Portland, Maine, over the weekend for personal reasons. Employee may not be reim- bursed actual transportation expenses to and from Portland since such travel was not to the employee's headquarters or place of abode under FTR, para. 1-8.4f. While the location at which an employee chooses to spend his nonworkdays while in a travel status is of no particular concern to the Government insofar as it does not inter- fere with the perforinance of his assigned duties, his entitlement to per diem or actual subsistence expenses as authorized continues unless otherwise restricted under FTR, para. 1-7,5c or FTR, para. 1-8.4f. However, this does not entitle the employee to reimbursement of trans- portation costs incurred for personal reasons. The issue presented is whether an employee on temporary duty may be reimbursed for the comparative cost of weekend travel expenses from his temporary duty station to a loca- tion other than his headquarters or place of abode. Appli- cation of the analysis in our redent decision Lewis T. Moore, B-198827, August 3, 1981, precludes 'avorable consideration of this reimbursement theory. Mr. G. J. Pellon, an authorized certifying officer of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), requosts an advance decision on the propriety of paying the claim of Mr. Philip J. Sullivan, an employee of the Birmingham District, IRS. Mr. Sullivan, whose headquarters and place of abode were Birmingham, Alabama, performed tem- porary duty in Washington, D.C., between August 17 and 28, 1981. On ?riday, August 21, 1981, Mr. Sullivan commenced weekend personal travel, flying to Portland, -IT 4% - -- - U' t. V. Ite .w '. -I, *t4, I' .~l .. - - I~4 r. J'rtt1 r -I-* fl - ST -W*-
