Seasonal per diem hike kicks in for Harrisburg

HARRISBURG ­- A summertime boost in per diem rates by the federal government is drawing criticism from a state lawmaker from Lackawanna County.

State Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, said an increase in the lodging rate for June through August can affect what some state lawmakers collect while on business in Harrisburg. He said it's unfair for Washington to increase the lodging per diem during a time of economic troubles for many people.

But it's uncertain how many state lawmakers can even take the seasonal rate bump.

Earlier this spring, the U.S. General Services Administration announced the lodging per diem in Harrisburg will increase from $107 a day to $134 a day for June, July and August. The lodging per diem will revert to $107 in September.

The per diem to cover the cost of meals will stay at $51.

This is apparently the first time a seasonal rate increase is being applied by the federal General Services Administration to stays in Harrisburg, the business location for state lawmakers. Starting in 2005, the GSA created a seasonal rate for per diems to cover higher hotel rates in areas that see an upsurge in tourism. The GSA uses lodging data to set rates. The agency sets a regular per diem rate for public officials to use each Oct. 1.

Modern Office Design

At the end of the 19th century, Frederick Winslow Taylor went to work astatine Bethlehem Steel. Upon observant the workers shoveling coal, Taylor had an idea. He assigned each worker a shovel that was of a size and weight ideally suited to the worker’s own body structure. With the new shovels, the workers became triply effective, Bethlehem Steel was able to reduce its cost by half, and get the same amount of work out of 140 employees that it once got out of 400.

Today, few businesses need concern themselves with optimizing their employees’ coal-shoveling potentialities, but workers are breaking their backs astatine a...
