Cajuncharlie Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Somewhere in the depths of the Federal or Joint Travel Regulations is a prescription to use 55% of the usual per diem rates for living allowances for temporary assignments over 60 days, or so I am told, but cannot find it. Can anybody steer me to the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajuncharlie, Perhaps others are better researchers than I am, but I don't think you can find what you're looking for in the FTR, JTR or DSSR. I am only aware of two types of travel -- Temporary Duty (TDY) assignments and Permanent Changes of Station (PCS). Many contractors have developed a third type of travel, e.g., Long-Term Temporary Assignment (or some similar name) for assignments of between 60 days and one year. But so far as I know, the official Government travel regulations don't recognize it. I look forward to somebody else providing more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel hoffman Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I know that the DoD JTR or other DoD travel regs do address reduced per diem for long term TDY assignments, but I'm on a TDY field trip with only BB service. I'm sure someone here can find the reference. I had employees and a contractor on long term TDY assignments who had to consider these restrictions (it was in his contract).
