Per Diems, how much per day?

[freshprince1]

I'm in Houston for 3 weeks at a time. I get Hotel and Car Rental covered, and $30/day. It's pretty slim, but I got the Hotel to throw in free breakfast. Subway lunch is $5.00 which leaves usually $20.00 for dinner. I usually charge the other $5 on random stuff like Energy Drinks or food for my Hotel room.

You should be able to get more than $30, especially if you are travelling on contract work. I'm in training, so my company cannot just charge it out to a client.

$9 for breakfast
$14 for lunch
$19 for dinner
$7 if it's overnight
plus hotels paid for and
52c/kms

When I still worked O&G I had no cap to my per diem. Breakfasts were usually around 20. Same or more for lunch and dinner could reach into the 60s.

I had no real limit. The company just wanted you to eat like you would at home. The only real condition is 1 alcoholic beverage only with dinner.

$16/meal, you're ahead with breakfast/lunch but that gets eaten up by dinner. Hotel paid for by the company, .25c/km to drive your own vehicle (if you cant hitch a ride in a company truck) .85c/km for those with a decked out truck to work instead of using a company truck.

10 breakfast
20 lunch
50 dinner

+ 10 dollars incidental, per day

Don't get me started....

In Canada I would get a flat 42/day (14 for every 8 hours) Since I transferred to the US, its up to $15 but only if you go somewhere overnight, and only with receipts.

50 dollars a day for food.
50 cents per km.
everything else is paid for by the company.
