Dorman - Temporary Duty Travel Overseas File: B-224131 Date: Jul4 8, 1987 DIGEST 1. Employee who traveled during working hours on Friday to report for temporary duty overseas the following Tuesday, the day after a Monday holiday, may not be paid per diem and may be assessed annual leave for Friday, where the agency determines that Friday departure was not warranted and Saturday was the constructive day of travel. 2. When return travel from temporary duty overseas is interrupted by annual leave, employee may not claim as a recoupment day under Volume 2 of the Joint Travel Regulations, para. C1058-3, the day immediately following a constructive travel day. The employee did not actually cross four time zones on the constructive travel day, and the agency was correct in charging annual leave for the next day. The fact that the employee may have been given erroneous advice does not create a right to restoration of annual leave where it was properly charged. DECISION ISSUES The issues in this decision are whether an employee is entitled to receive per diem and traveltime for travel overseas on the Friday of a 3-day, Monday-holiday weekend and whether the employee may use a recoupment day when his return travel is delayed by his use of annual leave at the overseas temporary duty post. We hold that the employee is not entitled to per diem and may be charged annual leave where he left on Friday for travel overseas on a 3-day, Monday-holiday weekend. We also hold that the employee is not entitled to a constructive recoupment day when his return travel from overseas is delayed by his use of annual leave.
