Per Diem Allowance

Meal per diem allowance will be issued prior to travel. This allowance will be paid at a rate of $50 per day to stakeholders who are traveling overnight AND working two consecutive days.  Please include your banking information below to ensure you receive your per diem before your trip. 

Mileage per diem allowance will be paid at the current IRS Standard Mileage Rate to stakeholders traveling in their personal vehicle for 150 miles or more roundtrip (about 2 hours total driving). For 2018, this rate is $0.545 per mile. This rate covers both gas expense and vehicle wear and tear. For stakeholders traveling in rental cars, you will be reimbursed for the gas you purchase for trips over 150 miles (about 2 hours total driving). Submit a Check Request after your travel with a summary of your travel and mileage to be reimbursed, along with a Google Maps or similar proof of the distance and time of the trip. 

Any stakeholder with a company issued American Express Card can choose to use their card to purchase gas when driving their personal vehicles if traveling more than 150 miles round trip (about 2 hours total driving), or choose to be reimbursed as noted above after their trip.  If you are a stakeholder with a company issued card, you should always use the card to purchase gas if you are in a rental car for trips more than 150 miles round trip (about 2 hours total driving), and for food purchases in lieu of the daily per diem. If you use your credit card to pay for gas, please submit your receipt along with a Google Maps or similar proof of the distance and time of the trip.

Reimbursements will not be issued for any cost above/over the per diem allowances without prior authorization in writing. If special circumstances arise, such as taking a client to dinner in a city with higher dining costs, prior per diem increase approval should be requested.
