Money Moral Dilemma: Should I give my employer the compensation for my delay?

In my experience, you apply, provide ticket evidence and the refund is sent to the person who applied. The vouchers I have had from Virgin have no name on them; the cheques I have had from Hull Trains or SouthEastern were made out to me because I applied. I can't see the TOC checking each ticket to see who it was bought by - only that it was valid and used on the service affected.


I have asked the question of my current and two previous employers and in each case been told that there's no mechanism for paying it back. What I actually do is use them to upgrade my next business trip to first class (since the travel policy forbids first class even when promotional deals are cheaper than standard).

This may be academic, as when I was claiming compensation for delayed commutes, contractually the train companies refunded the money to the original purchaser of the ticket.......the COMPANY credit card.


So unless things have changed...

This is interesting, mine always just refunded (partial) to the original payment method - that was London Midland, Virgin, SouthWest and Cross Country

No, don't give it to them. Apart from the fact they will probably never know, it is YOU that suffered the frustration and inconvenience.
