We are per diem
Actual
Isn't this on an engagement by engagement basis?
Based on engagement. Last engagement I had was $50/day. Not always like that though.
Per diem
Depends on the client
Actual
Yea that's how per diem works
Based on the day, spend too much on one meal, actual, if less, per diem. Our per diem is set, and not by location. NY same as every other location regardless if higher costs.
When traveling overnight, we get per diem at the federal rate based on city, but excluding breakfast if the hotel provides complimentary breakfast. If the hotel breakfast sucks or if they don't provide one we can eat elsewhere and be reimbursed but we have to submit the receipt. On non-overnight travel, we get reimbursement for actual expenses that are allowed (parking, tolls, etc.)
What about meals ^
What about them? If we are traveling overnight, our per diem covers lunch, dinner, and snacks/coffee. If we are not out of town, lunch is on you (either pack your own or budget for lunch out).
Dinner is on you too if it's not out of town?
In my region, dinner is reimbursable up to $15 if you work past 11 hours in a day at the client. But I believe that policy varies by region and is not fixed firm-wide. I've never actually claimed this reimbursement because my teams always pack it up after 10 hours tops at the client. We will certainly work from home later than that, but I've never stayed at the client more than 11 hours in my 4 years at MA.
Actuals. Receipts required for hotels and anything >$75 except mileage
