handle is hein.gao/gaobadkko0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I a THI CCMPTRJLLR OMlNURAL OF TH&I UINITE *TAT5S8 WABHINGTON14, OC3, 20540 8-205640 DATEi -June 18, 1982 MATTER C.i DIGEST: Ft Daniel C. Murphy Employee whose reemployment rights under 10 U.S.C. S 1586 were not recognized follow- in his completion of an ovecseas tour of duty accepted a position in another geo- graphical location upon his return to the United States and continued to work there until he was assigned to another overseas tour. Upon completion of tht latter tour, he was not entitled to reassignment to the duty station to which he may have initially had reassignment rights, but was only en- titled to reassignment to his last duty station in the cor.tinental United States. Such assignment did not constitute temporary duty, and he is, therefore, not entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in connection with that assignment. This decision responds to the appeal of Mr. Daniel G. Murphy, an employee of the Department of the Army, of our Claims Division settlement, dated August 12, 1981, which denied his claim for travel expenses incurred during a purported 9-month temporary dut- issignment. Since pay- ment of expenses for travel betr en the employee's home and his duty station im not statutorily authorized, we sustain the settlement of the Claims Division. The record shows that in August 1971, while employed as a supervisory equipment specialist at the U.S. Army Electronics Command (ECOI), Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, Mr. Murphy was reassigned to Long Binh, Vietname The SF-50 Notification of Personnel Action documenting that reassignment states that Mr. Murphy had reemployment rights with the ECOM Field Office, Western Hemisphere, at a duty station to be specified. These orders indicated that he did not qualify for reemployment rights granted by 10 U.S.C. S 1586. The record indicates that while Mr. Murphy was stationed in Vietnam on this assignment, the field office at Tobyhanria was discontinued by ECOM Order No. 27, dated May 18, 1972. FILE:
