What type of expenses are RCCAM members entitled to while performing approved business?

RCCAM members are entitled to per diem and travel expenses while performing approved business because these reimbursements cover the costs incurred for meals, lodging, and transportation when traveling for work-related activities. This type of expense allowance is designed to ensure that members are financially supported for necessary expenditures beyond their regular compensation, allowing them to perform their roles effectively without bearing a personal financial burden related to travel.

On the other hand, salary compensation refers to the income received for work performed, rather than expenses incurred. Health benefits and pension contributions are types of benefits associated with employment but do not directly relate to expenses incurred while performing business activities. Therefore, per diem and travel expenses are the most directly relevant to the question regarding expenses incurred in the course of approved business activities.
