(The same rules apply for travel time and waiting time on the return trip from the temporary duty stations to the employee's official duty station or directly to the employee's home.)

NOTE: For purposes of this table, the term "temporary duty station means a duty station outside the limits of the employee's official duty station.

1/ All travel time during regular working hours (excluding bona fide meal periods) is hours worked.

2/ Bona fide meal periods are deducted from hours worked.

3/ Since, except for the one-day assignment, the employee would have had to report to his/her normal duty location, the travel time between the employee's home and the common carrier terminal is not included in hours worked. However, if (1) the common carrier terminal is located outside the limits of the official duty station and (2) the employee's travel time from home to common carrier terminal is in excess of normal home to work travel, the employee shall be credited with the excess travel time as hours worked.

4/ Normal waiting time at the terminal from designated predeparture time until the scheduled departure time of the common carrier is hours worked. Any waiting time in excess of normal waiting time is not hours worked.

5/ When an employee travels to an intervening common carrier terminal and has to wait for a connecting flight to continue traveling to a temporary duty station, the usual waiting time at the intervening common carrier terminal is normal waiting time and is hours worked.

6/ The employee shall be credited with the lesser of (1) the actual hours worked for the time spent traveling to the temporary duty station (excluding normal home to work travel) , or (2) the estimated hours worked for such travel had the employee traveled directly from the official duty station to the temporary duty station.
