Official Travel. SECTION 1. The Employer and the Council recognize that employees may be required to travel from their official duty station on official government business. Travel will be administered, and employees will be compensated, for such travel expenses in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations.
Official Travel. You will be advanced and/or reimbursed accountable official funds for official travel, as may be directed or authorized by the US Government. Per diem funds, in lieu of subsistence, may be authorized, advanced, or reimbursed in accordance with applicable Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) and regulations, policies, and procedures of the Organization. Receipt of, accounting for, and repayment of official funds will be in accordance with applicable FTR and regulations, policies, and procedures of the Organization.
Official Travel. SECTION A: All official travel will be scheduled and arranged to occur during normal duty hours whenever possible. If it is necessary to travel during non-duty hours, the employee will be paid overtime or given compensatory time in accordance with applicable law, including the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004, and Government-, Department-, and NETL-wide rules and regulations. Management will not require an employee to be subjected to any unreasonable travel arrangements in order to achieve a reduction in per diem costs.
SECTION B: An employee on travel or assignment for extended periods of 30 days or more will be authorized at least one round trip transportation expenses, other allowable travel expenses, and per diem en route to return to his/her permanent-duty station on one weekend; however, Management may authorize additional periodic trips based on the length of the temporary duty travel. An employee on travel has the right to return to his/her permanent-duty station over any weekend while on temporary travel unless the request is denied due to official business considerations. In this circumstance, the employee will be reimbursed consistent with federal travel regulations. Consideration will be given in terms of scheduling the return trip home for holidays such as the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
SECTION C: If an employee is expected to be on travel or away from his/her normal duty station for 30 calendar days or more, the employee must be given written notification of the date of departure 30 calendar days in advance, unless Management is prevented from doing so by unusual circumstances or emergency conditions.
SECTION D: Subject to the right to assign work, a supervisor will allow an employee to take personal days in conjunction with official travel. A supervisor denying such use of personal days will provide, in writing, the reason(s) for the denial to the employee at least three working days prior to departure. Personal days that occur during the employee's approved work schedule must be charged to the applicable leave category.
SECTION E: Except under unusual circumstances, requests for travel will be approved or denied in a reasonable amount of time to allow the employee to complete travel arrangements. Upon written request of an employee for the reasons for the denial of a travel request, Management will provide written reasons to the employee for the denial.
Official Travel. Section 1 - Compensation and Travel To the maximum extent practicable, time spent in travel status away from the employee’s ODS will be scheduled by the Department within the normal working hours. Where it is necessary that travel be performed during non-duty hours, the employee will be paid overtime or may opt for compensatory time when such travel constitutes hours of work under 5 USC or the Fair Labor Standards Act, if applicable. If the travel does not constitute hours of work under 5 USC or the Fair Labor Standards Act, the employee may be eligible for compensatory time for travel. It is the employee’s responsibility to request and obtain travel authority in advance of travel. Official travel away from an employee’s ODS is hours of work if the travel is: Within the days and hours of the employee’s regularly scheduled administrative workweek, including regularly scheduled overtime hours; or, Outside the hours of the employee’s regularly scheduled administrative workweek, is ordered or approved, and meets one of the following four conditions: Involves the performance of work while traveling (such as driving a loaded truck); Is incident to travel that involves the performance of work while traveling (such as driving an empty truck back to the point of origin); Is carried out under arduous and unusual conditions (e.g., travel on rough terrain or under extremely severe weather conditions); or, Results from an event that could not be scheduled or controlled administratively by any individual or agency in the executive branch of government (such as training scheduled solely by a private firm or a job-related court appearance required by a court subpoena). To be creditable as hours of work, travel must be officially authorized. In other words, travel must be for work purposes and must be approved by an authorized agency official or otherwise authorized under established agency policies. When an employee performs official travel outside their normal working hours, but the travel does not constitute hours of work under 5 USC or the Fair Labor Standards Act, then the employee will be allowed to accrue compensatory time off for travel. Employees are entitled to compensatory time off for travel consistent with 5 CFR 550.1404. For the purpose of compensatory time off for travel, time in a travel status includes: Time spent traveling between the ODS and a temporary duty station; Time spent traveling between two temporary duty stations; and, The usual waiting time pr...
