Get Travelling Allowence

The amount of per diem to give your employee depends on the length, location and even time of year of their trip. For example, if an employee travels to a state where per diem is $139 per day, they will receive $130 for each day they stay there on business. For a four-day business trip, that would equal $520 in total.

You can provide the employee with the per diem amount of money up front, perhaps by giving the employee cash or assigning them a company credit card. Some companies also allow the employee to keep any amount they don't spend. Or, you can reimburse your employee when they return.

A Travel Allowance itinerary allows users to provide the location and date/times of their travel. Concur Expense uses this information to determine the daily allowable limits based on rates set by the company or country. Users must complete an itinerary for each segment of their trip.

A meal allowance policy regulates the actual cost that employees are allowed to spend when on business travel (also known as a meal stipend). If your employees travel for a business purpose, it's important that they can refer to a meal allowance policy.

How does per diem work? Per diem is a substitute for using an actual expense reimbursement method. Instead of paying employees back the exact amount they spent on a trip (actual expense), you provide the per diem rate. You can provide per diem in advance before the employee travels for business.

Per diem is most often used as a noun referring to a daily allowance for travel expenses, especially in the fields of transportation, entertainment, and government.

A per diem reimbursement is when a business gives a daily stipend or allowance to an employee to cover certain expenses incurred as part of their job. This allowance typically covers lodging, meals and incidental expenses. Occasionally, it will also cover the means of travel itself.
