Federal Home Loan Bank Board- Weekend
Return Travel


1. Under 55 Comp. Gen. 1291 (1976),
    employees on extended temporary duty
    assignments (TDY) may be reimbursed
    their travel expenses in returning
    home on a weekend if the agency con-
    ducts a cost analysis and determines
    that periodic weekend return travel
    would result in savings in terms of
    increased productivity and reduced
    costs of recruitement and retention.
    Federal Home Loan Bank Board, without
    a cost analysis, allows field examiners
    to return home 1 weekend for every 4
    weeks of TDY. The Board may tempo-
    rarily continue its current practice,
    but must conduct a cost analysis be-
    fore renegotiating current collective
    bargaining agreements or changing
    current practice.


          2. Weekend return travel should be per-
              formed outside the employee's regular
              duty hours or during periods of autho-
              rized leave. Authorized leave includes
              scheduled and approved annual or sick
              leave, compensatory time off, and leave
              without pay. Administrative leave does
              not constitute authorized leave within
              the meaning of that term as used in
              55 Comp. Gen. 1291.


     Mr. Richard L. Petrocci, Director of Administra-
tion, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, has requested a
decision concerning weekend return travel by employees
of the agency. This decision is rendered pursuant to
4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1981), originally published as 4 C.F.R.
Part 21 at 45 Fed. Reg. 55689-92, August 21, 1980. We
have received comments on the Board's request from three
local unions of the American Federation of Government
Employees (AFGE).
