Per Diems 2019

[Winnie]

OK, I am trying to argue new rates of Per Diems, but seem to run against a wall of "they are generous enough,,,"

Any of you fine chaps and chapesses willing to cough up what is the going rate these days?

I have had $46 ( 6 years ago), $52 2 years ago, and currently at less than those.

Any inuts and arguments are welcomed, even in private. So post here to share, or send a PM so I can do a "survey" to convince the guy in charge we deserve and need more...

Cheers

Operators are unable to understand what inflation is. Plain  and simple.

South of 60 - Breakfast = $20; Lunch = $20; Dinner = $50

What an industry.

What ever forestry is paying seems to be common and not penny a more.

Yup, last time I got a per diem in Canada was in 1993, and it was $46.00 / day, $50.00 / day in the NWT, and then I went offshore IFR, to where we were treated like GODS!

Glad I moved on and have never looked back!

Used to also get per-diem in camp and tent camps had an extra premium.

Currently $60/day.  $100/day bush pay. (Away from base).

Previous employer was $75/day

$53.50/day

Last place was $60/day but had to be talked up from 50% per diems when at crew houses.
