- Accommodation will be booked and expensed directly to FoEE.
- Per Diem is 50€/day and accounts for food.

Working days and rest days
Because of the nature of the project, we expect short work outbursts of a few days followed by rest weekends or even full weeks off. However, we do appreciate that the logistician, in those « off » days, remains unavailable for other contracts and therefore we offer to pay :
- 5 days / week (any week including at least two worked days days will be considered as a full week, triggering full payment)
- Any worked weekend day
- « Off » weeks at a 60% daily rate
- In the case of a week where a single day is worked, that day will be paid at 100% rate and the rest at 60%.
