Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Hello. I have a question regarding per diem and travel. If you travel out of town for work for two nights and three days, and they give you a food allowance of $20.00 a day. Are they required to give you any allowance for the third day if you do not arrive back in your town until later in the day?

Thank you,

Who is "they"? Unless you are a public employee or a member of a union, you get whatever you can negotiate with your employer. Nearly all employers pay much more than $20 in per diem. Look up the GSA Per Diem for government employees for a comparison.
