handle is hein.gao/gaobadkrs0001 and id is 1 raw text is: OECISION FILE: B-207284 THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITEO STATES WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548 DATE: October 29, 1982 MATTER OF: Nicholas A. Yeager DIGEST: Although employee delayed travel over weekend in order to travel on Monday, delay resulted in only 1-1/2 days' additional per diem costs over prompt departure schedule constructed by the Army. Since delay resulted in less than 2 days' additional per diem costs and, thus, did not violate 2-day per diem rule discussed in 56 Comp. Gen. 847 (1977) and reflected in para. C4464-2b, employee was not under obligation to accelerate departure. He is entitled to 1-1/2 days' additional per diem claimed even though his temporary duty was completed Friday afternoon. The question in this case is whether an employee of the Army, after completing temporary duty at 5 o'clock, Friday after- noon, may properly delay his departure for his permanent duty station until Monday, consistent with the travel arrangements that had been made by the Army a month before, when that delay results in 1-1/2 days' additional per diem. Since the delay over a weekend enabled the employee to travel on a regularly scheduled workday and involved less than 2 additional days' per diem, we find that the employee was not under an obligation to reschedule his return travel on a nonworkday and the additional 1-1/2 days' per diem may be paid. The Finance and Accounting Officer, Headquarters, U.S. Army Troop Support and Aviation Materiel Readiness Command, Depart- ment of the Army, presented the question through the office of the Comptroller of the Army. The matter was assigned Control Number 82-10 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. The Army authorized Mr. Nicholas A. Yeager to perform temporary duty for approximately 30 days in Gossport, England, beginning March 1, 1981, and, based on the employee's itinerary, the Transportation Office reserved seats for departure and return on commercial aircraft at category Y rates--a reduced fare. Mr. Yeager completed his temporary duty in Gossport, less than 100 miles from London, at 5 p.m. on Friday, March 27, 1981. He traveled to London on Saturday iorning and from there departed
