New Policy Guidelines for Per Diem Rates
 Accounting Services has revised two travel policies regarding per diem payments while on university business. The changes align Purdue's travel policy with the United States General Services Administration guidelines and Purdue's peer institutions. Both changes took effect for travel on or after July 1.
Subsistence is 75 percent of the full-day rate on the first and last days of travel, and the per diem rate is based on the business location, not the lodging location.
The new guidelines are posted on the Subsistence page of the Procurement Services/Travel website. For more information, contact Phil Davich, davich@ipfw.edu, or Judy Bondar, bondarj@ipfw.edu. |
