Question

What is "per diem"? should i get a job like this?

Answer 1

It could mean that if u are working out of town it is like an expense check they give u to support urself while out of town my hubby gets a per deim check and we are from wv but we are currently living in chicago and it covers our rent for our home and it is tax free if it is that reason but u can't claim expense made then on ur taxes if they give u what the federal goverenment allows.

Answer 2

It means, "by the day". I guess that means you are paid by the day. If you work one day, you get paid for it. If you work 3 days that week, you get paid for 3 days. Somebody else can probably tell you more about this.
