Money Moral Dilemma: Should I keep the delay compensation I got for the train ticket I expensed?

As long as you give the organisation the money received for your ticket refund, I think it only fair that you keep the money that is to compensate you for hanging about at a miserable train station for however long. Your inconvenience, their ticket.

Omg it's £9. The organisation probably wouldn't even know how account for it, let alone want it. Plus, YOU were delayed, not the organisation 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Its not a refund. Its compensation. Its your money.

If you're worried about it - was it you or your employer that was inconvenienced? If you were going to work and arrived late, it'll be your employer that was inconvenienced. If you were going home and arrived late, it was you that was inconvenienced.

You were inconvenienced, so the compo is yours.

Delay repay is a poorly named scheme. It should be delay compensation. If you're delayed it's yours, as it impacts your time.

However check your work expenses policy, there may be a clause about similar schemes that it needs repaying to the company.
