Because they are part of the per diem they are paid regardless. Any incidental expenses above the $30.08 daily amount must be supported by receipts.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to putting my feet up on my desk while enjoying a cuban cigar that I'll light with a $100 bill.

Abuse of budgets by department heads is a long hallmark of bureaucracy. Your per diem is probably smaller than hers.
