Worst - Travel and Backpay Claims File: B-223026 Date: November 3, 1987 DIGEST 1. Submission of fraudulent travel vouchers for a temporary duty (TDY) assignment taints each day covered by the vouchers and disqualifies the employee from any expense reimbursement for each such day. An employee cannot avoid this result by submitting corrected vouchers after it has been determined that the original vouchers were fraudulent. 2. An employee on a long-term TDY assignment may be paid lodging expenses at other TDY worksites that he occasionally visited. However, the employee may not be paid lodging expenses for occasional return trips to his permanent duty station. 3. Agencies have discretion over the authorization of mileage reimbursement for an employee's local travel within a TDY area. In the exercise of this discretion an agency may properly limit TDY local area mileage to travel between the employee's lodgings and worksite. 4. No authority exists to reimburse an employee who purchases a residence at a long-term TDY location for the cost of installing a dryer at that residence. 5. An employee who was wrongfully separated and seeks overtime as part of a backpay award must establish either that he earned overtime prior to the unjustified separation or that similarly situated employees earned overtime during the period of unjustified separation. Documentation that a similarly situated employee earned overtime several months after the end of the separation period is not sufficient to establish an entitlement to overtime as part of the backpay award. 6. A former GS-i1 employee who was wrongfully separated and who seeks a retroactive promotion to CS-12 as part of his backpay award has established prima facie entitlement to promotion where (1) nis former positlon was advertised at Sre /%L 3 '
