Who knows anything about how this new federal per diem is going to work with the new op model? Will we still use Amex, or personal cards instead?

Why would that change? Still Amex

How does the new per diem work? And when does it go into effect?

like

You will book flights/transportation on your AmEx and use your personal card for food/incidentals. Then you add in Per Diem as a manual expense in DTE and are reimbursed through payroll for what is spent personally. If you are under the per diem, you just pocket the extra.

like

OP, team dinners and health subsidy expenses would still be put on the AmEx and entered into DTE as normal. To get the pet diem you have to manually enter it into your expense report. There’s an entry for it that you’ll select, and then you put in the two different cities and complete checkboxes for the meals that you had in each. Eg, Atlanta - breakfast and lunch/NYC - dinner. It will calculate everything for you, including the travel day partial expense. You don’t separate out alcohol for these. You can book second lowest and just select a reason for it. As long as your counselor approves, you’re good.

I haven’t heard of this in the commercial tech or S&O practices, why would we move to per diem?

like

Thanks D2! So all flights and transportation, including Ubers/parking if required will still be on amex, but meals will all be on personal? How does that work for things like group meals? How does this work for things like health club while traveling/fitness subsidy? How does the splitting off of alcohol work? The policy guidance on deloittenet is shit so thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

Last question...do you have to do anything in particular to get the per diem and do you put it daily in DTE? How does the partial expense work on travel days?

And do you absolutely HAVE to book the lowest cost airfare, or can you book the second lowest if it’s for a legit reason (aka my boss will not let me arrive at 5 pm just because the flight is 300 less than the 11 am arrival)

What!? Wait we are moving to per diem? I have been out So must have missed this. When does it start?

@Op are you state projects?

DD1 so we can make extra money!!

But for managing budgets, per diem seems worse than having actuals no?

I would say actuals are way more costly than per diem. Most people average around 100/day if they drink. Per diem is less than that

D2 thank you sincerely for all of the information! Super helpful, and much more explicit than the actual policy that I looked into yesterday. Yes, I was previously not federal, but with the new op model I am falling under GPS (government and public sector). Everyone in this thread, if you are not realigned under GPS, you will not have to deal with the new per diem rule. As D2 said, it was previously federal only, and will be extended to EVERYONE under GPS in the new op model.

So if you fall into GPS based on the realignment, you will now be subject to daily time reporting, counselor approval of expenses, and per diem (which you are used to if already federal, but I am learning all this now so appreciate people like D2 that have the information)
