Compensatory Time Off for Travel. 3.4.1 The Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004, allows employees to earn compensatory time off for official travel during uncompensated, non-work hours, under certain conditions. For purposes of compensatory time earned and used for travel purposes, increments in 15 minutes are authorized. 3.4.2 Guidance to assist in determining the appropriate compensation for time in a travel status is available on-line at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/HR/hr/Guidance.htm 3.4.3 To earn compensatory time off for travel the time must be officially authorized and be approved by an authorized Agency official. There is no limit on the amount of compensatory time for travel an employee may earn, but accrued compensatory time off for this purpose must be used by the end of the 26th pay period after the pay period in which it is earned or it will be forfeited. If an employee separates from Federal service or transfers to another agency before the compensatory time off for travel is used, it will be forfeited. 3.4.4 A union official who is traveling for the purpose of conducting union/representational business, i.e., official time, is not entitled to earn compensatory time off for travel.
