Per Diem

Privilege Needed: Administrator

Location: Administrator - Per Diem -- Rates (List or Search).

The Una$ense product has two wizards that support the capture and processing of per diem expenses. Per diem expenses allow for the reporting and reimbursement of typical living expenses, up to a predefined maximum rate, without requiring that exact expense amounts be reported and substantiated by receipts. Per diem allowances consist of two parts, a lodging per diem, and a meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) per diem, and the actual allowance amount typically varies by location and time of year.

All per diem calculations are based on a single per diem rate schedule. The per diem rate schedule specifies the locations that are available for per diem expenses and the per diem allowances associated with each location.

Unanet will allow the contents of the per diem rate schedule to be customized by the Unanet System Administrator per each Unanet installation.

This help page will provide additional information in the following areas:

Per Diem -- List (viewing the entire rate schedule)
Per Diem -- Search (query a sub-set of the rate schedule)

Per Diem -- List

The following screen can be used to List the previously imported per diem rates.

Existing per diem rates can be enabled, disabled and deleted via the listing screen.

Clicking the delete icon () next to a location will delete all imported rates for that location.

Checking or un-checking the enabled icon next to a location will enable or disable all rates fro that location. If a location's rates are enabled, they will be available for use when reporting per diem expenses. If a location's rates are disabled, they will remain in the per diem rate schedule, but will not be available for use when reporting per diem expenses.

It also is important to note that deleting a location’s rates will allow them to be enabled if re-imported. If a location’s rates are disabled, they will not be re-enabled by subsequent imports for the same location. New or modified rates for the disabled location will still be correctly imported, they will just not be available for use when reporting per diem expenses.
