U're right! If I pay cash in lieu of air ticket, she can get the money $3740+$2200+holiday allowance around $400, total $6340 will be lost in my pocket next month.
I think she is very happy and can share this extra money with her agent la..............
My case is the same, the maid resigned, only worked for 14 months. The agent is at her side. I also need to buy ticket for her in Dec 17-30 , would it be super expensive?
