Toya, et al. - Per Diem - Temporary Duty Located at or Near Headquarters File: B-234346 Date: June 26, 1989 DIGEST Per diem was denied to employees who were temporarily assigned as examiners and observers under the Voting Rights Act and who stayed at a motel at or near their permanent duty station. The Federal Travel Regulations expressly prohibit employees from receiving per diem at their permanent duty stations. Where the temporary duty station is outside, but within a short distance of, the permanent duty station, the agency has discretion to determine whether per diem should be authorized. DECISION The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requests our decision regarding the payment of per diem to employees who perform temporary duty at or near permanent duty stations.l/ For the reasons stated below, we conclude that the employees may not be paid per diem at their permanent duty station but may be paid per diem for temporary duty near their permanent duty station within the discretion of the agency. BACKGROUND The request from OPM states that certain federal employees are temporarily assigned by OPM as examiners and observers under the Voting Rights Act to assist the Department of Justice in preventing practices and procedures which may deny citizens their right to vote on account of race, color, or language. These assignments may involve OPM employees or employees from other federal agencies. 1/ This request was submitted by Christopher H. Flaggs, Chief, Financial Management Division, OPM. 0G40 F%,C/ gc9c/
