  5. 12 Hour Method If travel is less than 12 hours there is no per diem If travel is between 12 and 24 hours, per diem is paid at 75% of the applicable per diem rate. If travel is more than 24 hours, the first day and last day is 75% of the per diem rate, the other days are paid at 100% of the per diem rate.

  6. 12 Hour Method • Example: • Per diem rate is $51/day – travel is 4 days (Tues-Fri) • First day of travel is $38.25 • Second day and third days are$51/day (less lunch of $12) = $39/day • Last day of travel is $38.25 Total Travel Per Diem is $154.50 Mileage will be actual Miles x $ .51

  7. Let’s do another example 3 day trip to Albuquerque and lets sign into GSA Traveling more than 24 hours First and last days are 75% Middle day is 100% and no meals as part of conference $42 x2 and $56 = $140 Maximum Lodging is $81 Least expensive airfare vs. driving

  8. Travel Tips to Remember Implement a travel policy Consistently follow the travel policy Allowable to do either per diem, actual expenses or a combination If no rates for the destination, use standard for the state
