handle is hein.gao/gaobadlil0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION - OF THE UNITEO STATES 33-, WASHINGTON. D. C. 20548 FILE: B-197381 DATE: September 27, 1983 MATTER OF: Jack R. Stickradt - Temporary Duty - Claim for Additional Actual Expenses DIGEST: Employee was authorized to travel to Washington, D.C., to participate in hearings before Federal Service Impasses Panel as a union representative. Travel order provided departure date of July 25, 1981, for hearings to be conducted July 27 to August 1, 1981, and employee was paid actual subsistence expenses for those days. However, employee departed on July 22, 1981, and took annual leave for July 22-24, 1981, in order to spend more time preparing for hearings. Employee seeks expenses for these 3 additional days based upon advice he received upon comple- tion of his travel from an agency employee in the travel section. Additional reim- bursement is denied since it was neither authorized in advance nor approved later by proper agency official. This is in response to a request from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), for a decision concerning the claim of Mr. Jack R. Stickradt, an employee of the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Logistics Command, Newark Air Force Station, Ohio. This case was submitted under our procedures for consideration of Labor- Management issues involving appropriated funds, 4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1982). The Air Force Logistics Command and the Headquarters, Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center, were served with copies of the submission, but neither office has provided us with their views. Mr. Stickradt's claim is for additional reimbursement for travel expenses incurred while on approved annual leave in Washington, D.C., on July 22-24, 1981, during which time he prepared for hearings before the Federal Service Impasses Panel (Panel). The AFGE contends that the Air Force prop- erly approved and paid per diem for the period in ques- tion and should not be allowed to retroactively reverse its decision and collect back the payments in question. For the reasons stated below, we sustain the denial of the claim.
