C. 20548 FILE: B-209100 DATE: May 9, 1983 MATTER OF: Thomas H. Hall - Weekend Personal Travel DIGEST: An employee whose official duty station is Cincinnati, Ohio, and who was attending a training class in Boston, Massachusetts, traveled to Florida for personal reasons over the weekend. The employee may not be reimbursed transportation expenses associ- ated with the travel to Florida, since that travel was not to the employee's headquarters or place of abode from which he co.mutes daily to his official station. FTR paragraph 1-8.4f. That his expenses for the weekend were less than he would have incurred had he remained at his temporary duty station does not change his entitlement. Ms. V. G. Leist, an authorized certifying officer with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), has requested our decision concerning an employee's claim for reimbursement of certain transportation expenses he incurred during a weekend trip away from his temporary duty station. The employee's claim may not be allowed, for there is no authority for such reimbursement. Mr. Thomas H. Hall, an employee of the Internal Revenue Service in Cincinnati, Ohio, was sent to Boston to attend a 2-week training class. The class began on Monday, June 7, 1982, and ended on Friday, June 18, 1982. During the intec- vening weekend, Mr. Hall visited with his wife and son in Florida. Mr. Hall flew to Florida at no expense, because his wife works for the airlines. He stayed with friends, incurring no lodging costs. Having been authorized reim- bursement on an actual expense basis for his temporary duty assignment, Mr. Hall did receive reimbursment for meals consumed during that weekend. Mr. Hall claims entitlement to reimbursement in the amount of $29.85 for limousine transportation to and from the airport in Florida. He argues that had he stayed in Boston for that weekend, the lodging cost to the Government would have been $102; thus, his trip to Florida saved the Government about $72. --~ A
