An employee, who was on a temporary duty assignment scheduled to last for ap- proximately 6 months, received instruc- tions that any apartment rented should only be on a month-to-month basis. However, he signed a 1-year lease, and when his assign- ment was terminated prior to the expiration of the lease term and he vacated the apart- ment prematurely, he forfeited a $700 security deposit. The employee may not be reimbursed the $700 security deposit since the employee acted unreasonably in signing a 1-year lease in these circumstances. 2. An employee was on temporary duty assign- ment at Houston, Texas. He traveled to Miami, Florida, on the Thanksgiving holiday weekend for personal reasons instead of to his official duty station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The employee may not be reimbursed his transportation expenses to and from Miami since such travel was not to the employee's headquarters or olace of abode as required for weekend return travel under the Federal Travel Regulations. 3. An employee on temporary duty in Houston, Texas, claims meals and cab fares to obtain meals while in Miami, Florida, during a holiday weekend. Cab fares may not be paid under para. 1-2.3b of the Federal Travel Regulations where, for reasons of personal preference and not due to the nature of the temporary duty assignment, the employee obtains lodgings or meals in distant locations. / / 4 vi
