Highlights

CIVILIAN PERSONNEL Travel Mileage Regulations Collective bargaining Agreements A disbursing officer questions the effect of provisions in collective bargaining agreements that are contrary to provisions of the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) governing the computation of local mileage allowances. Although bargaining over provisions that are contrary to statute or government-wide regulations is generally prohibited. GAO will not question local mileage payments made in accordance with these negotiated agreements although they are contrary to the JTR provision. This paragraph was revised to limit such mileage reimbursement to the distance that exceeds the employee's commuting distance to the regular place of work and return.
