DeSeguirant--Reimbursement for Luncheon A senior official of Treasury seeks reim- bursement for cost of annual luncheon sponsored by OPM for the Federal Labor Relations community. Although the luncheon included a labor relations speaker, it was not a meal incident to a meeting for which reimbursement may be allowed. The general rule against reimbursement for meals at an employee's official duty station applies. A decision has been requested as to whether the Depart- ment of the Treasury may legally reimburse its Director of Personnel, Mr. Henry C. DeSeguirant, for attendance at a luncheon sponsored by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for senior officials of the Federal Labor Relations and personnel community. Under the general rule that the Government will not pay for meals of employees who are not traveling on official business, payment of the claim must be denied. The luncheon which Mr. DeSeguirant attended was held on June 3, 1980, and featured a speaker on labor-management relations from the Department of Education. Apparently there were no other activities connected with this meeting either before or after the luncheon. We note initially that under the provisions of 31 U.S.C. § 1031, Treasury Department appropriations are available: * * * for expenses of attendance at meetings or organizations concerned with the function or activity for which the applicable appropriation is made. Similar general authority for Government employees to attend meetings concerned with the activities of the employing agency is contained in 5 U.S.C. § 4110. As a general rule, an employee may not be paid a per diem allowance in lieu of subsistence at his permanent duty I / DIGEST: /V , Z/V/.,- Z se 4 & , weoc tq( Oca
