Transportation of any kind between an employee’s home and permanently assigned office (official headquarters) is not reimbursable (M.G.L., Chapter 30, §25).
If employees travel from home to temporary assignments rather than to their permanently assigned offices, transportation expenses shall be allowed either for the distance from their homes to places of temporary assignment, or from their permanently assigned offices to places of temporary assignment, whichever is nearer.
In all instances in which the Appointing Authority assigns the employee’s home as his/her permanent office, prior approval must be given by the Personnel Administrator before such assignment becomes valid.
The designation of the permanently assigned office for purposes of this rule by the Appointing Authority with the approval of the Personnel Administrator shall be final unless the employee files an appeal within 10 days in accordance with Rule 1.05.
