D.C. 20548 DATE: JUL 2 01976 Reimbursement for travel on nonworkdays between temporary duty and official stations Where agency after cost analysis determines that the costs of reimbursing employees who are required to perform extended periods of temporary duty for expense of periodically traveling between the temporary duty point and official station for nonworkdays is outweighed by savings in terms of employee efficiency, and productivity and reduced costs of employment and retention of such employees, the cost of authorized weekend return travel, may be considered a necessary travel expense of the agency. This action concerns the propriety of Government agencies paying civilian employees for the expense of travel, prior to the completion of a temporary duty (TDY) assignment, between their TDY stations and their official stations for weekends or other nonworkdays under orders authorizing or requiring such travel. This subject has been discussed over a period of time between representatives of the General Accounting Office and the General Services Administration. From those discussions and other inquiries, our Office has concluded that agency officials are in need of guidance on the extent of their authority to authorize or require weekend return travel. We, therefore, are issuing this decision to clarify the matter. The primary statutory authority of general application which relates to official travel is contained in subchapter I (sections 5701-5709), chapter 57, title 5, United States Code, as amended by Pub. L. No. 94-22, approved May 19, 1975, 89 Stat. 84. Section 5707 of title 5, United States Code, as amended by Pub. L. No. 94-22, directs the Administrator of General Services to prescribe regulations to carry out the subchapter.
