Should an employer withhold from amounts payable to the employee as per diem reimbursement for travel expenses?
No. Disposable pay includes only compensation owed to an employee for services rendered by the employee whether termed wages, salary, bonuses, commissions or vacation pay. Per diem payments are not compensation for personal services, but rather reimburse the employee for expenses incurred by the employee in the course of employment, and are therefore not subject to withholding pursuant to a Department garnishment order.
