[quote=Anonymous]No extra pay, but you should get a per Diem or reimbursed for all expenses. If you get a per Diem, it will be an amount like $40 or $65 a day. It varies by location. I get less when I go to rural LA or Albuquerque than when I go to Boston or NYC. You are expected to use that money for meals and incidentals - like buying a toothbrush you forgot.

Things you charge in that are NOT part of your per Diem are - flights, hotel, rental car, taxi or transport to/from airport, gas for the rental car, Internet on the plane/hotel if it is used for work, airline baggage fees

Part of your per Diem unless you take clients out for meals - meals, drinks, dry cleaning, toiletries, room service,
Pay per view movies, upgrades on the plane, long distance phone calls, first class lounge at airport,
Tips to bell hops and curb side check in.

If you take your clients out for meals, you are expected to reduce your per Diem that day since that meal was paid for and you can't double dip.

Reimbursements and per diems are not taxed unless you become compensatory. Compensatory doesn't happen unless you are traveling to the same location more than 50% of your work hours for over a year - like a consultant who flies to the same office M-Th/F.

Most people get to keep their miles / hotel points.
Those nearly free vacations are your "extra compensation". [/quote]
