Transferred employee seeks restoration of 8 hours annual leave charged to leave account while awaiting arrival of movers on a scheduled day of travel. If agency to which employee is assigned determines that claimant delayed travel while reason- ably and necessarily awaiting movers, GAO would interpose no objection if claimant was administratively excused for such time as was essential for such purpose. 2. Employee, whose household effects were shipped under actual expense method of shipment, seeks allowance for personally packing household goods. Under actual expense method, the Government is the shipper and the nuthority to incrr packing expenses is vested in agency. Since agency contracted with carrier to pack and trans- port household goods, employee who, with- out authority, undertakes to pack household goods does so voluntarily and is not entitled to reimbursement. 3.
