Sims File: B-260780 Date: July 16, 1996 DIGEST Payment may be made to the employee for his dependents' per diem for the period in Hawaii from July 13 through July 17, 1993, while en route from the old duty station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the new duty station in the Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, pursuant to the employee's permanent change of station. The delay in Hawaii was beyond the control of the employee, was not for his personal convenience, and the employee acted as a prudent person would have acted under the same circumstances.

Sims. Mr. Sims' family traveled concurrently with him in connection with his permanent station from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, in 1993. BACKGROUND Mr. Sims' travel orders gave him authorization to travel concurrently with his wife and four dependent children (ages 9, 6, 3, and 1).
