Parker - Travel - Receipt For Airline Ticket DIGEST: Mediator.of National Mediation Board claims reimbursement of $192 for airline ticket bought when he voluntarily flew home during recess of temporary duty and performed duties as required at home. While Board authorized reimbursement for such travel not to exceed cost of remaining at temporary duty station, a receipt, pas- senger coupon, or other evidence of cost of trip is required to support claim under Federal Travel Reg- ulations, para. 1-10.2b(4) and para. 1-11.5c(3), Supp. 4, June 1, 1977. Mr. Rowland K. Quinn, Jr., an authorized certifyjng officer, National Mediation Board, requests a decision on theLentitlement -f M ik to reimbursement of commercial air travel expenses The issue is whether a voluntary round-trip by commercial airline between Mr. Parker's temporary duty station and his home during a recess of temporary duty must be evidenced by a receipt for the airline ticket. In the position of a mediator for the National Mediation Board, Mr.. Parker continually travels on temporary duty and returns to his residence in Houston, Texas, which is considered his permanent duty station. While Mr. Parker is on temporary duty, he participates in labor elections and similar activities which are often recessed. In accordance with Board policy on recesses, Mr. Parker may either remain at the temporary duty station or travel to his residence and return to the temporary duty station when the recess ends. If he elects to return home during a recess, the Board pays the round-trip travel costs, not to exceed the estimated cost the Government would have incurred had he remained at his temporary duty station. The Board's payment policy for voluntary return travel is similar to that authorized in paragraph 1-7.5c of the Federal Travel Regulations governing employees' return to official station on nonworkdays. However, Board mediators do not have designated nonworkdays and perform official duties as required regardless of whether they remain at the temporary duty stations or return home during recesses.
