How to use "Per diem" in context?
In the U.S. government, per diem is a calculation of daily earnings for employees. It is a way to help employees understand their earnings and protect the government from overpaying employees.
When an employee is paid on a per diem basis, the government divides the employee's daily pay by the number of days worked. The result is the employee's per diem pay.
The per diem pay is added to the employee's regular pay to get the employee's total pay for the day.
The use of per diem calculations in the government dates back to 1789.
