Per diem payments cover expenses incurred by the employee during the course of work. Usually expenses are limited to travel, food, and lodging. The maximum rates are set by the Internal Revenue Service.
The company incurs the expense of per diem, not the employee. Therefore, the per diem provided to the employee is non-taxable. In the 5-3-1 Payroll Calculations window, set up a payroll calculation that exempts the per diem from taxes.
| 1 | Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records. |
| 2 | In the Type list, click 8-Per Diem. |
| 3 | In the Pay Rate text box, enter the amount. |
Tip: If you enter a job number on the timecard line, Sage 100 Contractor will job cost the per diem when you final-compute the timecard.
