He was not required to travel during unreasonable hours and reimbursement of his air travel expense is based on the constructive cost of the next available flight on Saturday with the extra expense of the flight made on Sunday for the employee's convenience to be borne by him. DECISION A decision is requested whether an employee may be paid the extra cost of air travel based on constructive cost compari- son which was deducted from the reimbursement of his travel expenses when he interrupted his travel by not returning to his permanent duty station on the next available flight after completion of temporary duty./ We conclude that the employee may not be paid since when an employee for his convenience interrupts travel by a direct route, the employee shall pay the additional expense. Mr. Dan Wendling, an employee of the Defense Logistics Agency assigned to the Defense Industrial Plant Equipment Center, Memphis, Tennessee, performed temporary duty at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Since he completed his temporary duty at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 2, 1986, he was unable to take his scheduled return flight on Friday. He remained at his temporary duty point until Sunday, May 4, 1986, when he returned to his permanent duty station, and the reimbursement of his expenses was based on a constructive cost comparison. 1/ Ms. Patricia N. Shipp, Accounting and Finance Officer, Defense Depot, Memphis, Tennessee, submitted the request for a decision and it has been assigned control number 86-15 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.
