We have an employee that has been assigned to a different state for the next 2 months. During his stay in that state, he will be doing alot of traveling. How is his per diem rate calculated? Is there a flat rate that can be used?

The IRS uses different rates for different parts of the country, and for different cities. To find these rates, go to IRS.gov and enter 'per diem' in the search box. A list of publications will come up. You can choose the one that works best for you.
Good luck!

I know it is a pain to check each city's rates before the employee goes there, but it is much more of a pain to figure out his W2 if you don't. Just keep a register of where he is going and give him a copy of the publication. That way he will know his per diem each day, and so will you.
Good luck!
