Question
We are looking to set up company guidelines for employee spending while they travel in the US.
Would you know what the average is in the US for meals, hotels and cars per day.
Thank you
Colleen
There is no average across the United States. It varies from city to city, state to state. Typical employee and US government employee per diem rates are established by the US government. They are published annually and can be found, among other places, at www.gsa.gov/perdiem
