2023 International Per Diem
Please use this form for all requests for 2023 per diem.
A Per Diem is a daily allowance for meals and incidentals a field worker can use when traveling internationally for their Reliant role for a period of 3 or more days. The International Per Diem form for international travel allows field workers to request a set amount for meals and small incidental expenses without having to save receipts and reimburse individual costs for these items on a regular expense submission form.
Reliant requests that a field worker only requests the amount of Per Diem necessary for their actual expenses.
The International Per Diem Meals & Incidents rate is meant to cover food and small incidentals such as tips for hotel staff. All other expenses such as lodging or other travel costs need to be submitted through the International Expense Submission Form.
Change to Standard: In the past, the Per Diem form was also used to submit reimbursements for lodging and other travel costs. Now that we have created a new expense submission process, we request that all lodging and travel reimbursements be submitted through the normal expense submission forms.
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.
Associate field workers are eligible for per diem for themselves during the active conduct of ministry, but they are not eligible for per diem for a spouse or children.
Per Diems paid out of a Reliant Project Fund
Additional Approvals
Please use the designated box on the Per Diem form to confirm that you have discussed the trip with your supervisor and that they approve of the trip.
If the expense is for a project fund, please share the form with an authorized signer of the fund and ask them to add approval before submitting the form to the Reliant reimbursement team.
The Reimbursements Team may notify the program team or request further approval from a Reliant Central Program Team Lead. This means that your liaison or another member of the program team may reach out to you or your supervisor for additional details, update a job description, or request another form such as the Travel Notification Procedure.
Submission & Processing
- Please submit a separate per diem form for each month. However, if your date range only crosses into a second month by less than 5 days it can be entered on the same form.
- We can only pay Per Diem up to a maximum of 30 days before the first day of use.
