Actually, there is no legal right or entitlement to a per diem or other daily allowance or payment (e.g. for meals) when an employee travels; it is purely voluntary for an employee to provide any sort of per diem payment and they would be free to pay you nothing above and beyond your regular wages or salary. Since it is voluntary for them to pay, they can pay you anything they want.
