Winnie 115 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 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 W. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
