Is the deduction of normal commute time supposed to be deducted from compensatory time whether the travel is on a normal duty day or not?
Yes, your normal home-to-work and work-to-home commuting time will always be subtracted from the amount of compensatory time you receive for official travel to/from your home to a temporary duty station. 5 C.F.R. § 1504(c).

Leave A Comment	Q & A Session – Compensatory Time for Contractors
Does the entitlement to compensatory tie while on official travel apply to contractors?
Contractors do not receive the same rights and benefits as federal employees, as contractors are employees of the contracting company, not the federal government.

Leave A Comment	Q & A Session – Compensatory Time Off
Is an employee entitled to compensatory time for hours worked above the normal tour of duty of eight hours after arriving at a TDY site?
An employee on a TDY is only entitled to compensatory time off “for time in a travel status away from the employee’s official duty station when the travel time is not otherwise compensable.” 5 C.F.R. § 55.1401 (emphasis added); see 5 C.F.R. § 550.1403 (“Compensable refers to periods of time that are credible as hours of work for the purpose of determining a specific pay entitlement, even when that work time may not actually generate additional compensation because of applicable pay limitations”). Thus, if you are working more hours than regular tour of duty, as your question suggests, you will be entitled to compensatory time off for your travel to/from your work station. Additionally, you will also be entitled to compensatory time off for any time beyond your normal 8-hour tour of duty spent working at the temporary duty station. See 5 U.S.C. § 5542 and 5 C.F.R. § 550.113 (FLSA-exempt employees); 29 U.S.C. § 207(e)(7) and 5 C.F.R. § 551.531 (FLSA-nonexempt employees).

Leave A Comment	Q & A Session – Overtime While On Travel Status
What is the rule for paying overtime to an employee while on travel status?
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 5542(b)(2) and 5 C.F.R. § 550.112(g), official travel away from one’s duty station is considered hours of work, including overtime hours when applicable, if: the travel occurs within the regularly scheduled work week; or the travel includes the performance of work while traveling, is incident to travel that involves the performance of work while traveling, is carried out under arduous or dangerous conditions, or results from an event that could not be scheduled or controlled administratively by any individual or agency in the Government. If time while on travel status does not meet one of the above to qualify as hours of work or overtime, then it may be credited to compensatory time. An employee on a TDY is entitled to compensatory time off “for time in a travel status away from the employee’s official duty station when the travel time is not otherwise compensable.” 5 C.F.R. § 55.1401 (emphasis added); see 5 C.F.R. § 550.1403 (“Compensable refers to periods of time that are creditable as hours of work for the purpose of determining a specific pay entitlement, even when that work time may not actually generate additional compensation because of applicable pay limitations”).
