Meal reimbursement amounts

Yahoo · July 2004

Does anyone break down how much a travelling employee can spend on various meals in their reimbursement policy? Thanks!

Ours is broken down by region, so an employee travelling to NYC gets to spend more than an employee travelling to a less expensive area. As long as its all adds up to the lump sum amount, we do not break down what can be spent for each individual meal.

We use the Federal Per Diem system which is based on geographic location and pays a daily rate. [url]http://policyworks.gov/org/main/mt/homepage/mtt/perdiem/perd04d.html[/url]

YAHOO: We use a straight receipt reimbursement procedure and a travel guideline which spells out the limitations on what is an allowable expenditure. Alcohol and tobacco are two items that do not get company support. Tip are supported as long as they are not extravagant.

It works for us I just wish the company would come off of the 25 cents per mile traveled. No one likes to use their personal car to travel, but they do and the company keeps rolling with no outright refusals. If there were refusals we might be able to get the company to change some things.

We use combo of both receipts and per diem depending on the type of travel and location etc. We use the federal per diem rates as our benchmarks. We reimburse mileage at the IRS rate.

Thanks to you all for your help!

We pay per diem at $50 - I strongly encourage our employees to bring food on the plane, especially on long flights. Many flights do not serve food. And if food is served, with airport or airplane menu prices , fifty dollars can go in a hurry.
