A per diem is a daily allowance you can get from your employer to cover expenses (generally meals and lodging) when on a business trip. This means that instead of submitting individual expense receipts for reimbursement, you will receive a fixed allowance to spend per day of your trip.
NOTE: This feature may be disabled based on your company's policy.
