PRE-TRIP & POST-TRIP Per Diem

March 17, 2022

Per Diem: FIND RATES

Pre-Trip/Post Trip Per Diem

When filling out the Spend Authorization (SA) use the PRE trip per diem (before the trip) and for the Expense Report (ER) use the POST trip per diem for after the trip.

The Pre-Trip Per Diem doesn’t pay  you, it only is there as an estimate and for the SA… the POST Trip Per Diem is for the Expense Report and is for actual costs… (it actually brings up a new window to put in for day after day- for each day of the trip - clicking on the radio buttons for which meals are provided and does the calculating).

DO NOT CHECKMARK the PERSONAL REIMBURSEMENT checkbox... Extension is not utilizing this.

CASH ADVANCE: there are some situations that we would allow cash advance (group travel, international or travel over 7 days)
