The company deposits the total amount in the employee´s acct, and the employee could use it any way he/she wants (multiple economy tickets, use it for vacation).



The employee could decide not to go on any vacation and pocket the money…so it could have been seen by her as another way for the company to get her more money to give her an incentive to make the move.

The number was on the summary sheet (with the calculations hidden somewhere in a twenty page document). The package was presented to her by someone in HR, who I assume went over the numbers on the summary sheet. Obviously the number didn’t jump out at the HR person or he or she would have jumped up and said that something didn’t look right and check it out. I have to assume that the package was checked by someone in your department.

This person relied on the numbers and made changes that can’t be undone. I say, pay her the $25,000 and put in procedures to make sure this kind of mistake doesn’t happen again.
