It’s been nagging me that I haven’t signed up for my companies per diem program. Free money in the pay check right?
But in the process of signing up, I noticed an acknowledgment of an agreement that because the program is a benefit to me, my employer feels the need to charge me $150 a month to use it.
The program benefits both parties, they pay less in taxes and 401k contributions because now $26k a year is no longer income.
How much did it affect your take home pay?
It seems the way the program is set up, my employer is taking a large percentage of the benefit to me and keeping it for themselves.
Is there a way I can write off my road expenses “per diem “ without using my companies program?
Thanks
