per diem

can per diem be paid to employees who commute 40 miles or more to work, but do not stay away from home overnight? If so is this non taxable and if so, are receipts required?
Or is the amount paid all taxable

Whether they are taxable or not depends on the terms of your employment. Comments on this post konfuzed agrees: i still need to know if the employee has to stay away from home to be eligible for per diem
