A Per Diem is a daily allowance for meals and incidentals a Field Worker can use when traveling for their Reliant role for a period of 5 or more days. Some examples of when you might want to request a Per Diem include:
IncidentalsIncidentals are small expenses related to travel that may be difficult to track and itemize on a reimbursement form. These include:
Spouse and children's costs are also eligible for Per Diem. A spouse's Per Diem may be taxable and recovered through an Expense Recovery Bonus (ERB) if the spouse is not a Reliant field worker or is not serving in a ministry role on the trip. Children's Per Diem costs are taxable and recovered through an ERB.
General Per Diem RateReliant requests that a field worker only requests the amount of Per Diem necessary for their actual meal and incidental expenses. For Reliant Field Workers traveling 5 days or longer (within the US), the Per Diem rates are as follows.
LodgingA Lodging Per Diem is a daily allowance for lodging that a Field Worker may request when they will be traveling for their Reliant role for a period of 15 or more days. This Lodging Per Diem requires additional approvals, and the rate will be determined between Reliant and the Field Worker's partner church. To inquire about this option, please send an email to reimbursements@reliant.org. In most cases, lodging is reimbursable with a receipt, so that is the preferred method of handling Lodging costs. See Reimbursement and Expense Recovery Bonus Standard for more details on reimbursing Lodging costs.
