Per Diem for County Travel Within Hawaii

A. Officers and employees of the County who travel on official business to another inside within the State of Hawaiʻi shall be paid a per diem allowance of $90 per twenty-four-hour day. B. In the case of official travel time involving a fraction of a day, the allowable claim shall be in terms of quarter-day periods, with the quarter-day periods measured from midnight. In computing the amount of per diem, the quarter-day period shall begin one hour before the scheduled flight departure time and shall end upon the return of the officer or employee to his or her home airport. This allowance and method of calculation shall be applicable to all trips, including one-day trips when an officer or employee leaves and returns the same day; however, in the case of one-day trips, the allowable claim shall not exceed two quarter-day periods. C. When an officer or an employee engages in personal travel before or after travel on official business, the total per diem allowance shall equal that which would have been allowed had the personal travel not been engaged in.
