Thanks for everyone's help and the hotel I stayed at allowed me to pay for individual items on my hotel bill. I had watched a movie and had taken a beer from the mini-bar and rather than deal with my company I paid for it before I left, so I'd have a nice clean bill to submit to accounting. Your company won't pay for one beer??? Most probably a XXXX movie, rather. Say no more! |

Your company won't pay for one beer??? Some companies don't permit traveling employees to charge food to the company. Instead they give a lump sum cash payment (a "per diem) to the employee before they leave for the trip, that they can use for their meals. For example, if the per diem is $40 a day, and an employee is leaving for a 2-day trip, they'd be given $80 for their food. If they spend more than $80 on food, they have to pay the extra themself. If they spend less, they get to keep the difference. But they can't charge food to the company. |

when I was booked into a hotel for my
retirement seminar the allowance for dinner was $18. The cheapest entree on the restaurant dinner menu was $32 Yikes! One common misconception about per diem is that it's supposed to be enough to pay the entire bill. Actually many companies state that it's only intended to cover the DIFFERENCE in cost between eating at home vs eating in a restaurant. But even so, your per diem clearly wasn't enough in that situation! |
