Negotiation of Payment Amount

When negotiating the contractor payment, expenses such as lodging, airfare, and meal allowance costs should be estimated and included in the entire contract amount. Do not offer to pay the independent contractor per diem, per diem is for employee, student and volunteer use only.

Airfare at the lowest coach fare will be reimbursed separately only upon presentation of invoice including the original ticket receipt and a copy of the travel itinerary.
