I'm five years in, handling recruitment and payroll for a 90-person company . Currently on 1,300 USD plus transportation. Half my friends say that's fair for this market, the other half tell me I'm underpaid for the workload. What are people actually seeing this year — and is anyone still on a split-currency package?

We're still paying a flat daily amount set eighteen months ago and it no longer covers a return trip across the city. Options on the table: raise the flat rate, index it to fuel, or move to a monthly lump sum and stop tracking attendance days. Curious what other companies landed on — especially those with staff commuting from outside the city.

Our staff keep telling us the public reimbursement cycle is unusable in practice, so we're layering a private plan on top. The question is how to structure it: first-dollar coverage, or top-up where statutory cover is the primary and the insurer covers the gap? Also curious how you handle families — full dependent coverage is getting expensive fast.
