(Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen
PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
(Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company
STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim on behalf of the General Committee of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen on the Missouri-Kansas-
Texas Railroad Company:
On behalf of Assistant Signalman J. G. Jensma for $120.00 for weekend travel expenses during the
Rule V of Agreement No. DP-583. Carrier file 2619."
OPINION OF BOARD: The facts disclosed by this record are not in dispute. The
controversy between, the Claimant and Carrier grew out of
Claimant's Submission of a monthly Claim for weekend allowances.
Claimant filed for March 4, 6, 13, 18, 20 and 25, 1983, showing total
trips claimed as three (3) for a total amount of $120.00. Carrier did not
approve the Claim in part for the 13th in the amount of $20.00.
Carrier records show that Claimant did not work the 9th and 10th and
Agreement No. DP-583 states in pertinent part:
"They will be released at the end of their assigned
tour of duty on the last work day of the work week,
except in an emergency or requirement of the services, with the understanding they will report for
duty at the hotel or motel by the assigned starting
time on the first day of the assigned work week."
Therefore, Claimant is not entitled to the Claim on the 13th.
There is no dispute that Claimant is entitled to $100.00. Accordingly, Claimant should refile th
reimbursement for the aforementioned proper amount of approved expenses. The
Board is of the Opinion, however, that Claimant is not entitled to the amount
of $20.00.

and all the evidence, finds and holds:
