Accenture people: new hire here and don't understand how per diem works. Is it not just added to my paycheck for every day I am on the road?

Yeah, our on-boarding process is one of the worst of any company. They tell you boatloads of stuff you don't probably need and nothing that you do. I had someone else walk me through. Honestly , if we treated our clients this way they would never hire us.

like

No, have to add it as an expense in T&E. Gets paid out separately from paycheck.

like

You add per diem like you would add a hotel, cab, or any other expense. You choose the days you were at a client site and have to confirm you're charging per diem for each meal of the day. If your manager paid for dinner one night, don't charge the per diem for that meal.

Nope I am a new hire. Though I did see those threads, I haven't had the same questions.

I don't understand what it means to expense to my per diem. That's the answer I got and I don't want to seem thick headed by asking them to explain.

Okay, got it, on my laptop right now. So I have to input my max allowable for each day. Do I just put in the max allowed or do I have to put in each meal expense?

Add per diem expense, in details add location, date range and meals claimed.

Claim all meals. Find an analyst to walk you thru. No shame. I knew someone who went 6 months without changing locations on time sheet (we get W2 for every place we work).

It's essentially an allowance. If you're onsite, charge all the morning, afternoon, dinner radio button. If the client supplied lunch, just untick it for that day. The rest you keep.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
