Highlights
The payment of an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assignee both for per diem at the IPA assignment duty station and for temporary duty travel to another location was questioned. An employee receiving per diem at his IPA duty station may also receive an additional per diem allowance for temporary duty at another location, but the additional per diem should reflect only the increased expenses resulting from the temporary assignment. The per diem may only be authorized incident to temporary duty assignments away from headquarters.
