handle is hein.gao/gaobadlpc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THU COMPTROLLERNUENENAL OiCISION ',op THE UNITED OTATES WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548 FILE: B-213593 DATE: March 20, 1984 MATTER OF: Gerald F. Krom and James A. Bosch Two-day Per Diem Rule Reimbursement of Travel Costs DIGEST: The 2-day per diem rule limiting per diem which is outlined in 56 Comp. Gen. 847 (1977) and 55 Comp. Gen. 590 (1975) is not applicable where an employee's travel is extended by 2 or more days, not due to his personal desire to avoid working on nonworkdays, but rather due to Government orders based upon an administrative deter- mination that it would be cost effective to extend the employee's traveltime in lieu of requiring weekend overtime work. This responds to a request for an advance decision by a certifying officer of the Omaha District, Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) as to the propriety of payment of travel claims submitted by Mr. Gerald F. Krom and Mr. James A. Bosch. For the following reasons, we conclude that the claims may be paid as submitted by the employees. Claim of Gerald F. Krom Mr. Krom, a drill rig operator with the Corps was ordered to travel from Denver, Colorado, his temporary duty (TDY) station, to his permanent duty station, Omaha, Nebraska, to transport a drill rig from Omaha to Denver because of a major mechanical breakdown of the rig being used in Denver. Mr. Krom prepared a Government-owned, truck-mounted rig for transport to Denver on the afternoon of November 18, 1982. He departed from Omaha with the rig at 9:15 a.m. on Friday, November 19, and drove to Julesburg, Colorado, arriving at 5:15 p.m. the same day. Mr. Krom remained in Julesburg Saturday and Sunday and departed for Denver on Monday at 7:00 a.m. He arrived with the rig at 11:15 a.m. Monday. Mr. Krom then remained in Denver performing work in a TDY status.
