Payment of subsistence allowance for the preceding day as outlined in the foregoing paragraphs shall supersede, and not be in addition to, any subsistence allowance for those days as may be otherwise prescribed in Article 20.00. The entitlement to Subsistence Allowance is measured from the employee's permanent residence to the project where it is in excess of 150 road kilometres and where substantiated by verifiable proof that used accommodation the preceding day (i.e. receipt or registration verification).
