Question

MY HUSBAND TRAVELS WITH HIS JOB AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY PERDEM BUT DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?

Answer 1

Per diem, means "per day." It is usual and customary for an employer to reimburse the employee for his actual expenses, by way of an expense account, if he is out of town on relatively short trips. Short trips are one week or less. Legitimate expenses are hotel, dinner, breakfast, air fare, taxi cab fare, tolls and any other special expenses. Non-reimbursable normal expenses are lunch, personal grooming articles, hair cuts, shoe shines, clothes cleaning, etc.

Per diem might be all right if someone is staying out of town for an extended period, such as a month or more, and stays in one place. Depending on where he goes, figure the motel room at about $75, dinner at about $20, Breakfast at about $10, add taxes and tips. Maybe $115 per day is fair. The challenge is to then keep the daily expenses under the allowance.

Answer 2

also if he uses his own car there is usually a $.75 per mile charge for wear and tear , gas , and etc .
