Bolton, Jr. - Travel Expenses - Restoration of Annual Leave 1. Employee, in Pittsburgh, who had annual leave scheduled in Los Angeles, was assigned to attend a training seminar in San Diego immediately prior to scheduled annual leave. Employee stayed in California after training and claims reimbursement for travel from Pittsburgh to San Diego, San Diego to Los Angeles, and Los Angeles to Pittsburgh. If employee had returned to Pittsburgh after training was completed, he would have been eligible for airline half- fare discount coupon. The agency correctly limited reimbursement to such cost since regulations provide that reimbursement is based on such charges as would have been incurred by a usually traveled route when per- son for his own convenience travels by indirect route, or interrupts travel. Also, regulations require agency to use half-fare coupons if its use will achieve a savings to the Government. 2. Employee forfeited annual leave scheduled in advance since he was assigned to attend a training semi- nar. Annual leave may be restored since failure to present case to an appropriate agency official for exigency determination constitutes an administrative error which would allow restoration of annual leave. This decision is in response to a request by a certifying officer of the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, concgrning the claim of Alan G. Bolton, Jr. Uklef st for reimbursement f travel expenses and restoration of annual leave~under the following circumstances.
