Travel expense payments
Per diems are daily allowances, typically money given to employees to cover expenses while traveling for work.
The term comes from Latin meaning "per day." A per diem rate might cover meals, lodging, or incidentals: The company pays a generous per diem for overnight trips.
Per diem can also describe workers paid by the day rather than salaried: per diem nurses, per diem staff.
