When is it appropriate for an agency to offset creditable time in a travel status by the amount of time the employee spends in normal commuting between home and work?
A. If an employee travels directly between his or her home and a temporary duty station outside the limits of the employee’s official duty station (e.g., driving to and from a 3-day conference), the agency must deduct the employee’s normal home-to-work/work-to-home commuting time from the creditable travel time. The agency must also deduct an employee’s normal commuting time from the creditable travel time if the employee is required—outside of regular working hours —to travel between home and a transportation terminal (e.g., an airport or train station) outside the limits of the employee’s official duty station.
