handle is hein.gao/gaobadnml0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Christopher Hahin - Overseas Travel - Per Diem - Matterof. Rest Stop - Overtime Compensation File: B-233389 Date: June 23, 1989 DIGEST 1. An employee performed temporary duty travel to Saudi Arabia in 1981, and received limited per diem based on footnote 13 of Appendix A, Volume 2, Joint Travel Regula- tions. He claims additional per diem arguing that his situation was not addressed in that footnote, but was addressed in later changes to that footnote. The claim is denied because the regulation was applicable and was cor- rectly applied. Subsequent changes in regulations made after his travel was completed do not affect his entitle- ments. 2. The travel orders of an employee who performed overseas temporary duty travel specified a 1-day rest stop in London outbound and permitted 2 days layover in Rome on the return trip. He claims per diem for the additional day in Rome based on those orders. The claim is denied. Under para- graph C4464-4 of Volume 2, Joint Travel Regulations, then in effect, rest stops of a reasonable period may be approved. The 1 day allowed as a rest stop on the outbound journey established it as a reasonable period for per diem purposes. The second day on the return trip was authorized to be taken as a matter of personal convenience to the traveler, not as a rest stop day. 3. An employee while in a travel status claims overtime compensation since another employee who allegedly worked the same hours received that pay. Overtime under 5 U.S.C. S 5542 is only payable when it is ordered, approved in writing, or induced by an official with authority to order or approve such overtime. In the absence of documentation showing such approval in the employee's case, overtime compensation may not be paid. C d4&4A/ m q i-
