Hotel Bill
> Your company won't pay for one beer???
Some companies don't permit traveling employees to charge food to the
company. Instead they give a lump sum cash payment (a "per diem) to
the employee before they leave for the trip, that they can use for
their meals.
For example, if the per diem is $40 a day, and an employee is leaving
for a 2-day trip, they'd be given $80 for their food. If they spend
more than $80 on food, they have to pay the extra themself. If they
spend less, they get to keep the difference. But they can't charge
food to the company. |
