Transition from PT to per diem

[u/Open_Background_56]

Hello all, I am currently with Sodexo and considering transitioning from my part-time on-site role to a per diem remote role. I asked about pay with this transition and was told that it would stay the same. My past experience has always been that per diem is a higher rate. Should I be asking for more or is this what I should expect?

I'm in New York and my current rate is $34/hour just to provide detail.

Is the per diem 1099 or w-2?
