TEMPORARY DUTY TRAVEL (TDY. Section 1. TDY is defined as a temporary duty assignment outside the commuting area of Red River Army Depot.
Section 2. Employees assigned TDY may be entitled to travel advances authorized by the Joint Travel Regulations.
Section 3. The Employer may assign offers of TDY on an equitable and rotational basis among employees who are assigned to the same job number and have the necessary qualifications within the immediate organizational element, provided the employee is not under a letter of instruction for leave usage or has documented performance below the satisfactory level, or has medical restrictions preventing the employee to perform the full scope of the TDY duties.
Section 4. TDY rosters will be established and maintained current by the Employer for each organizational element, on a form mutually agreed upon by the Union and the Employer. A new roster will be established at the beginning of the first pay period after April 1 of each year.
a. First offering of TDY will be based on the seniority of the employee by grade. In the event an offer of TDY is declined the employee will be credited with the amount of TDY offered (number of days TDY).
b. Offers of TDY will be based on number of days TDY. Offers will be credited and remain credited even if the TDY is later cancelled. On occasions where actual TDY exceeds the number of days offered (i.e., 14 days offered and TDY is extended to 21 days) the additional days TDY will be considered an extension of the initial offer and credited to the employee who traveled on his/her return to duty. TDY that terminates with less actual TDY days than the number of days offered will remain as originally credited. Offers of TDY that are later cancelled will remain credited.
c. When it becomes necessary to go outside the immediate organizational element to meet TDY requirements, offers of TDY will be from the TDY roster in the organization selected by the Employer to provide the additional personnel.

e. Employees who are obligated for a previous offer will be offered additional TDY trips if reached on the roster as long as the time frames for the TDY’s do not conflict. Employees who are already obligated for a TDY will not be offered additional TDY trips that fall within the timeframes of the previ...
