DATE: December 1-7 1979


OF:                  '- Transfer to International
    Organizations - Reemployment Guarantees

1. AID employee transferred to international orga-
   nization in Indonesia for 1year and to second
   international organization in Mexico for 3 years
   under Federal Employees International Orga-
   nization Service Act, as amended, 5 U.S. C.
   §§ 3581 to 3584. In determining employee's
   entitlement to equalization allowance AID properly
   considered total pay and allowances received from
   both international organizations since equal-
   ization allowance is effective only upon employee's
   reemployment by AID at end of second assignment.


           2. AID employee transferred to international orga-
              nizations for 4 years is not entitled to rest and
              recuperation travel, granting of earned leave
              benefits, and reimbursement of expenses incurred
              in shipment of personal automobile since such
              benefits are not authorized under 5 C. F. R.
              § 352. 310(a)(3) implementing 5-U. S. C. § 3582(b).
              Also, employee was considered for promotion
              by agency while serving with international
              organizations as required by 5 C.F.R. § 352. 314
              (1970).

   This action is in response to an appeal by Mr.
a former employee oV the Agency for International DevelopmentV AID),
Department of State,/'from the settlement action dated October 12,
1978, issued by. our Claims Division, which disallowed his claim
for earned leave benefits, reimbursement of transportation expenses,
and equalization pay, incident to his transfer to two international
organizations under the provisions of the Federal Employees Inter-
national Organization Service Act, Public Law 85-795, as amended,
approve August 28, 1958, 72 Stat. 959, codified at 5 U.S.C. 5§ 3581
to 3584, 1970). The claimant also has questioned why hewas not con-
sidered for a promotion by AID while employed by the international
organizations.

ployee of AID was transferred from AID to commence work on
June 22, 1970, as a technician for the United Nations Industrial
