What are per diems and how do they apply to my trip?
Per Diems are predetermined reimbursement amounts that cover meal and other incidental expenses. The rate varies depending on destination of travel. (See per diem guideline chart) If the city where you are travelling to is not listed in the chart, the standard rate will apply. When computing the per diem you receive 75% of the rate the day you leave and the day you return, regardless of the departure and return times.
