Terumos 6:3 - Rabbi Joel Padowitz On The Mishnah

Terumos6: 3

הַמַּאֲכִיל אֶת פּוֹעֲלָיו וְאֶת אוֹרְחָיו תְּרוּמָה, הוּא מְשַׁלֵּם אֶת הַקֶּרֶן, וְהֵם מְשַׁלְּמִין אֶת הַחֹמֶשׁ. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: הֵם מְשַׁלְּמִין קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ, וְהוּא מְשַׁלֵּם לָהֶם דְּמֵי סְעֻדָתָן.

[If] someone feeds his workers or his guests te-rumah, he pays the principal, and they pay the [additional] fifth. [These are the] words of R' Meir. But the Sages say: They pay the principal and the fifth, and he pays them the cost of their meal.
