Budner - Cooperative Education Student - Per Diem at Duty Station DIGEST: Employee, while holding a temporary appointment as a student trainee under the Cooperative Education Program of the Forest Service, performed almost all of her duties at the Red Ives Ranger Station near Avery, Idaho, during two periods of service. Between the periods of service, she was in a leave-without- pay status, and following the second one she received a career- conditional appointment. The long- standing rule is that an employee may not be paid per diem at his or her official duty station. Since claimant, while a student trainee, did not have a permanent duty station to which she reported during the period she was on leave without pay, and inasmuch as Red Ives was her official station where she performed almost all of her duties, she may not be paid a per diem allowance for her time at that duty station. This decision is in response to a request from Mr. C.E. Tipton, Authorized Certifying Officer, Fiscal and Accounting Management, Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, as to whether Ms. Stacy A. Budner, an employee of the agency, is entitled to per diem while employed by the Forest Service as a cooperative educa- tion student. Ms. Budner has submitted two travel vouchers claiming per diem during her periods of employment as a student trainee. The certifying officer requests a decision as to whether the vouchers may be paid. The question presented is whether a student trainee under the Cooperative Education Program is entitled to payment of a per diem allowance while working at her official duty station. For the reasons hereafter stated, the claimant is not entitled to the payment of a per diem allowance. 0-50t.9
