[Closed] Been overpaid expenses - keep quiet?

andybach · 2012-07-25T11:44:49Z

So - checking my bank account the other day, i was several thousand pound richer than i thought. On closer inspection i noticed a single large deposit from my employer, i work away a lot and am always getting expenses reimbursed, so there are regularly £1-2,000 coming into my account in addition to salary each month. What i think has happened is that someone has not recognised the currency on the claim form, assumed it was US Dollars and i am about £6,000 richer than i should be. I intend to tell my boss when he gets back off holiday in 2 weeks - but just wondered if anyone would keep quiet and wait until the firm noticed, which is very unlikely partly as my claim has 3 seperate authorsiation signatures beofre it gets to my account. I am always very honest with my expenses because i think anything else is fraud/theft or should i just fill my boots like some of our MPs?

Turns out mine was the gratuity added to a meal bill.

I'd imagine two things has happened here, firstly, that throwing about huge tips like that has made your boss realise that you don't need expenses. Secondly, you're probably known as CaptMoneybags.
