Thomas, Sr. - Commuting Expenses - Change of Regular Workplace Within Official Station File: B-233591 Date: September 21, 1989 DIGEST An agency reassigned an employee for a 6-month period from one workplace to another workplace within his official duty station, which consisted of a city's corporate limits. The employee's claim for the cost of commuting to the new workplace may not be allowed because an employee must bear the costs of commuting between his residence and his workplace. DECISION Mr. Degge T. Thomas, Sr., appeals our Claims Group's disal- lowance of his travel claim for commuting to his duty station.l/ For the reasons stated below, the disallowance is sustained. BACKGROUND Mr. Thomas and several other employees, whose workplace was the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were tem- porarily assigned on a voluntary basis beginning August 11, 1986, to the Navy's Aviation Supply Office, which was also located within the corporate limits of Philadelphia. A memorandum for record, dated August 7, 1986, prepared by a shipyard official concerning the assignment, states that no local travel payment is authorized for the assignment as the Supply Office will be considered the employees' authorized work site for the duration of the assignment. Until Mr. Thomas returned to duty at the shipyard on February 6, 1987, he commuted from his home to the supply facility L/ Our Claims Group disallowed Mr. Thomas's claim by Settlement Certificate, Z-2861244, September 14, 1988, and affirmed the disallowance by letter to Mr. Thomas on October 4, 1988.
