Recovery Time. The following provisions provide for recovery time following TDY travel when the employee is adversely affected by fatigue: a. When an employee begins or ends temporary duty travel by commercial carrier during regularly scheduled hours of duty, supervisors may excuse the employee for up to 3 hours without charge to leave. b. When extensive temporary duty travel outside of regularly scheduled hours of duty is required, employees are authorized to be absent from work without charge to leave or loss of pay for a reasonable time to recuperate from fatigue or loss of sleep. In determining "reasonable time" the supervisor considers the adverse effect on work performance, health, or well being, and any safety hazard which might result from working while fatigued. c. When the total elapsed travel time exceeds 20 consecutive hours, as in the case of travel between the continental United States and either Pacific or European bases, up to 8 hours of duty time may be excused for recuperation. When requested, supervisors are encouraged to grant unscheduled leave.
