Sounds like she’s trying to take advantage of a situation. If the travel line was clearly defined as a RT biz class ticket that’s a fairly easy thing to verify and is commonly known. I travel quite a bit internationally and work for a European company, so we all know the typical cost of airfare to various parts of the world.

If she was just focussed on the bottom line and the components were clearly spelled out, that’s a poor reflection on her attention to detail.

off-topic, to all the HR folks…our pay statements are now only available on-line, which is a huge PITA to check every 2 weeks, so I don’t. My husband often comments to me when he’s doing our online banking that my pay went up/down a few $s. I don’t even focus on it. While it may be a time saver for HR, it probably ends up costing employees more time. (and it really doesn’t save trees - most paper is made from chips from the sawmill process or trees that were thinned so the surrounding trees can grow bigger to become lumber).
