request per diem

A travel job is any worksite that requires an overnight stay in a hotel or other lodging. The per diem rate is $75 per day for time clocked into a travel job, and it is paid during the regular payroll cycle for the days worked.

To qualify for per diem, employees must clock at least six hours each day. Be sure to include all travel time toward the job. Exceptions to the six-hour rule apply only when weather or other unforeseen circumstances prevent access to the worksite.

To request per diem for your team, complete this Per Diem Form no later than 12:00 p.m. on Monday for the previous week’s travel job.

Requests submitted after 12:00 p.m. on Monday will be paid with the following week’s payroll. No exceptions will be made, and manual checks are not permitted.

A separate per diem request must be submitted for each job, identified by its unique Estimate Number.
