Greene, Jr. - Claim for Overtime Compensation for Traveltime File: B-227489 Date: November 30 1987 DIGEST An employee claims overtime pay for hours spent traveling to and from temporary duty where the travel was found to have resulted from an event which could have been scheduled or controlled administratively. Our prior denial of his claim is affirmed since the employee has not provided sufficient factual or legal support for the proposition that his traveltime both to and from temporary duty should qualify as hours of employment under the requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 5544(a) (1982). DECISION This decision is in response to a request by Mr. Lake W. Greene, Jr., that we reconsider our Claims Group settlement Z-2841008,. October 1, 1985, in which we denied his claim for overtime pay while traveling to and from temporary duty at Nellis AFB, Nevada, in October 1980. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that Mr. Greene is not entitled to overtime pay under these circumstances. BACKGROUND Mr. Greene is a wage-board employee of the Department of the Air Force who was assigned to temporary duty (TDY) at Nellis AFB, Nevada, by a travel order dated October 9, 1980. Mr. Greene departed for Nellis on Friday, October 10, and returned to his permanent duty station at Robins AFB, Georgia, on Saturday, October 18. The TDY mission was to perform corrective repairs to seven aircraft that were grounded. Mr. Greene is claiming overtime pay of $334.69 for time spent traveling to his TDY point at Nellis on October 10 and from his TDY point on October 17 and 18. Mr. Greene contends that he should be paid overtime for the time spent traveling to Nellis since he believes the travel was purely for the benefit of the Air Force and was in O1 O713
