  • 1.  Travel Reimbursements

    Posted 06-06-2019 15:00
    When I worked for a CPA firm, this is what we used for per diem rates: https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates
    We weren't allowed to submit per diem for days we had meals provided.

    That's very similar to the data from Cal DOJ meals max combined $20 a day - they'd book the hotel and airfare for you, translation, there are no hotels only motels and if your flight has three layovers that save $then that's how you'll be flying.

    We only used the meal per diem rates. $55 per day isn't much higher than what it was when I was there 14 years ago.

    If a meal per-diem rate would simplify this all the way around, then I'm in favor of its consideration.

    This is what DSD uses.  We do it per meal,  the Rate changes per city

     

    1. Determine the location where you will be working while on official travel.
    2. Look up the location-specific information at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
    3. On results page, click View Rates to jump to the M&IE rates table.M&IE is located on the last column of the this image
    4. Find the row for your specific location and note the amount listed for M&IE total, breakfast, lunch, dinner, incidentals, and first and last day of travel.

    1. This table lists the full daily amount federal employees receive for a single calendar day of travel when that day is neither the first nor last day of travel.
    2. The separate amounts for breakfast, lunch and dinner listed in the chart are provided should you need to deduct any of those meals from your trip voucher. For example, if your trip includes meals that are already paid for by the government (such as through a registration fee for a conference), you will need to deduct those meals from your voucher. Refer to Section 301-11.18 of the Federal Travel Regulation for specific guidance on deducting these amounts from your per diem reimbursement claims for meals furnished to you by the government. Other organizations may have different rules that apply for their employees; please check with your organization for more assistance.
    3. This column lists the amount federal employees receive for the first and last calendar day of travel. The first and last calendar day of travel is calculated at 75 percent.

    It's their footnote notation. The (2) is referring to #2 in the list below.
