Contractually, per diem medical staffing is the repetition of an hourly pay rate that is requested for possibly several days, or even weeks. The contract framework for per diem medical staffing is the agreement to pay a specific amount for each hour worked during some part of a day.
To keep things simple, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows the use of per diem (Latin meaning âfor each dayâ) rates. Per diem rates are the equivalent of a fixed amount paid to employees to compensate for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred when traveling on business rather than using actual expenses. These rates are also used for federal income tax purposes.
