BOP Program Statement 2272.06 § 8

a. Time and attendance (T&A) documentation shall be maintained

at the temporary duty site for all TDY staff. Actual clock

hours worked must be recorded for each employee. The Human

Resource Manager, or designee, at the temporary duty site is

designated to certify and forward T&A data to the home

institution.

b. Overtime authorizations and employee work schedules shall

be facsimiled or transmitted by BOPNet GroupWise to the Human

Resource Manager of the home institution. From this

documentation, the staff member's T&A shall be generated and

approved by the appropriate department head.

c. Care should be taken to schedule travel to and from TDY

sites during the employee's regular eight hour work day since

overtime or compensatory time for travel is generally not

payable.

Particular attention should be given to avoiding situations in

which an employee completes one work assignment, travels to the

new duty station and is required to report for work with little

or no break.

• In emergency situations, overtime for travel can be

authorized (as travel to the site of an uncontrollable

event) in order to respond expeditiously.

• In circumstances other than emergencies, employees

traveling to or from the temporary duty site shall be

allowed to travel during regular duty hours.

• Should circumstances require travel outside regular

duty hours, the person ordering such travel shall

document the reasons.

d. In extended TDY situations which last over 30 days, Human

Resource Managers at employees' home institutions shall make

available, by facsimile or BOPNet, all local vacancy

announcements to TDY staff.

It is the employee’s responsibility to forward an application

for a vacancy, which he/she is interested in, to the TDY

institution’s Human Resource Manager.

e. Unless the Director approves otherwise, staff at the GS-12

or higher grade level are only eligible for compensatory time in

lieu of overtime pay.

f. Wardens of TDY sites shall ensure that overtime allotments

do not exceed regulated pay caps.

g. Temporary assignments to higher-graded positions shall be

handled in accordance with Bureau Merit Promotion Plans contained

in the Human Resource Management Manual.
