Bob,

Follow this link to see a summary of Fall 2001 Wages and Per diem rates. Of course, these rates are 1.5 years old, but it will give you a good threshold.

Perry is paying NMP Techs(Bozos)135.00 a DAY while they're paying contract workers alot less

Doc_REM · Apr 22, 2003, 01:41

D.C. Cook is $75.00 a day...should be some where around $85 to 90.00 a day

radghost · Apr 22, 2003, 02:34

Fermi is $85.00/day, although per diem rates (irs allowable) is 159.00 for Detroit and is 103.00 for Toledo, fermi's halfway in between. You can find perdiem rates @ www.policyworks.gov/perdiem for your area. If'n anybody would want to see a little relief due to short outages and increased travel maybe we should ask for comparable perdiem.

Does everyone keep all their receipts for expences or is there a standard daily firgure that can be taken legally on your tax return. Last year was my first encounter with higher pay in lieu of per-diem

A couple of the techs & deconners drug up on the last job I was at. The company we were working for deducted a week's per diem plus their travel pay TO the site from their last check. Two questions :

1. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

2. Is there ANY way this is legal? I always thought the travel was ours as soon as we passed the entrance exam(s) and assumed if you worked the time, you got the diem... (I know I have quit a couple jobs and never lost anything that had already been paid to me...)

First time I saw the take back Line was in proceesing for Duke last year.

Tech-A · Mar 17, 2004, 09:56

I just quit @Duke Power and I think they took more than that. But I will be talking to a lawyer soon. I dont see how its legal. If there are more Techs out there that this has happened to should respond to this post, this might turn into a class action suit.

This happened at Oyster leak in 83/84 with NSS.They had everyone sign a three month commitment ,and 40hours+ per diem if we left prior .This never held up as it was written one-way.They could lay you off if they saw fit.Talk to the Labor board first ,its free.No one can deduct anything from your pay with out you authorizing it.If they feel they are due money from you they have to get a court judgement .Don't delay.

I took a problem like that to the NLRB and won the case aginst bartlett. they ruled per deim and travel are wages and they had to send me back my pay .
good luck

Seen it myself several times by different companies. Never had it happen to me cause I always worked til they told me to DFR.
Legal? Ethical? Right/Wrong? probably depends on a case by case basis of why someone drag up.

alphadude · Mar 22, 2004, 10:04

its legal when you sign a conditions of employment. did you sign anything?

UncaBuffalo · Mar 24, 2004, 07:22

Thanks for all the input...I'll pass it on to the interested parties...

KARMA ALL AROUND!

A nuclear staffing company (unnamed) has offered me a THREE week job with the possibility of an extension. They are paying half the travel up front and half after FOUR weeks on the job but require me to forfeit all of the money if I leave before FOUR weeks.
1. Is this a common policy in the business?
2. Are there laws against travel pay blackmail?
Thanks,
