Additional Information
According to Section 13 of HSE National Consent Policy Part 3 Research, reimbursement for lost earnings, travel costs and other expenses incurred as well as compensation for the time and inconvenience involved in research participation (e.g. payment at minimum wage levels) might be permissible as research participants should not be expected to bear the costs that relate to taking part in a study. However, it is important to note that compensation is understood to mean a recompense for losses sustained e.g. time away from work.
