           TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
           CHAPTER 301--TEMPORARY DUTY (TDY) TRAVEL ALLOWANCES
 
PART 301-70--INTERNAL POLICY AND PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Subpart F--Policies and Procedures for Emergency Travel of Employee Due 
                          to Illness or Injury
 
Sec. 301-70.504  May any travel costs be reimbursed if the employee travels to an alternate location for medical treatment?

    Yes. When an employee, interrupts a TDY assignment because of an 
incapacitating illness or injury and takes leave of absence for travel 
to an alternate location to obtain medical services and returns to the 
TDY assignment, you may reimburse certain excess travel costs provided 
in this section. Specifically, you may reimburse the excess (if any) of 
actual costs of travel from the point of interruption to the alternate 
location and return to the TDY assignment, over the constructive costs 
of round-trip travel between the official station and the alternate 
location. The nearest hospital or medical facility capable of treating 
the employee's illness or injury will not, however, be considered an 
alternate location.

    Note to Sec. 301-70.504: An alternate location is a destination 
other than the employee's official station or the point of interruption.
