Per Diem

Use the Per Diems feature to set up daily travel allowances for employees. Per diems are not added to the employee's income and not taxed against the employee.

You must specify the per diem level for the eTimesheets employee on the Main tab on the eTimesheets Employee Configuration form. eTimesheets uses this level to apply the correct daily travel allowance rates to eExpenses.

Per Diem eModule Control Settings

The Use Per Diem option on the Per Diem tab on the eTimesheets Module Control form determines whether or not per diems is active for eTimesheets. Select this option to use the eTimesheets Per Diem function.

Once enabled, the eTimesheets Expenses form contains a Per Diem button. Click this button to enter an expense line to claim daily travel allowances. The rate is determined by the date of travel and the destination.

The rate's audit number displays and captured with the expense line to keep track of if the rates come from. You cannot edit rates through eTimesheets when the per diem expense line is saved. You can create new lines by drilling down on an existing line and clicking the Copy Line button.
