Decision


           John C. Dudkiewicz, et al. - Overtime Pay While
Matter of: Traveling

File:      B-226191.2

Date:      January 4, 1989

depart and for time they spent clearing the airport after
their arrival while traveling to and from their temporary
duty station at Diego Garcia. They are not entitled to
overtime pay under either law because they did not meet the
required criteria, particularly the time was outside regular

performed no work while traveling.

are entitled to receive overtime compensation for time spent
waiting at airports for their scheduled flights to depart
and clearing the airport at Diego Garcia after arrival. We

The five employees were assigned to temporary duty at Diego
Garcia from September 15 to November 14, 1986; their regu-

7 a.m. to 3:40 p.m. When traveling both to Diego Garcia
and back to Guam, they were instructed by management to

Dudkiewicz, Jesus C. Lujan, Cesar D. Devera, George F.
Guerrero, and Roy C. Pocaigue.
