Oregon,
sent you a pm. How's it going for you in Texas so far what do you think

 

my cousin works wireline for lewis energy in encinal, texas. puts in 14 hours a day with a $50 per diem. says he usually gets sundays off but rarely...if ure in that area, they are hiring.... i guess hours vary depending on company...but from what i heard, wireline and coil is the place to be....long hours but easy... look into pioneer energy services, wildcat wireline and lewis energy for wireline if ure in texas..

 

Ok so does he usually get Sunday off. Or rarely which one is it

 

Can someone explain what per diem is and why it is so prevalent in these jobs?

 

Per diem (Latin for "per day" or "for each day") is a daily allowance for expenses, a specific amount of money that an organization gives an individual per day to cover living and travelling expenses (allowance) in connection with work done away from home or on tour. Per diem is also used as an adjective and an adverb.
Per diem pay eliminates the need for employees to spend as much time creating expense reports documenting the amount spent while travelling on business for reimbursement. Instead, employers pay employees a standard daily rate without regard to the amount actually spent by the employee. Employees do not have to give back any money if they did not use all of the per diem for travel expenses.

 

Thank you.
