(Civil Service and Foreign Service Employees)
a. Travel expenses for family members of employees detailed to training will not be authorized, nor will there be authorization for shipment or storage of effects. Employees detailed for long-term training will be authorized per diem in accordance with 14 FAM 573 and 14 FAM 575. If for any reason a detail is canceled before its scheduled completion, per diem will be paid only for the actual number of days the detail was in effect. In addition, travel and transportation for family members and effects to the next post of assignment will be authorized from the last post of assignment and not the training locality.
b. The last post of assignment remains the employee’s permanent duty station. If that duty station is Washington, DC and the next post of assignment requires training at FSI or anywhere in the Washington metropolitan area, no per diem would be payable for the training period. Per diem is not authorized at an employee’s permanent duty station (see 14 FAM 575.1).
