C4108 governing payment of travel and transportation expenses and applicable allowances when short distances are involved.� A reasonable period of advance notice shouldn't be less than 30 days except when (a) the employee and both the losing and gaining agencies agree on a lesser period; (b) other statutory authority and implementing regulations stipulate a lesser period (see Office of Personnel Management regulations for specified time frames); or (c) emergency circumstances prevail. |
