I am aware that we need to pay for the DH's one way ticket when the contract has expired but what if the DH is terminating for her own personal reasons - she says she need to settle some land matters in Indonesia. Since she is terminating a year early do we stll have to pay for the air ticket? Frankly, as employers we are already lost out on her terminating a year early - loss of agency fee since we now have to pay again for agency fee etc so I am not really happy about paying for her air ticket is she is terminating for her own reasons. Also does anyone know how much a one way to Indonesia would cost? and is it another$100 for some allowance?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

Unfortunately marcusboy, you still have to pay for her air ticket. It's in the contract. Once the contract is terminated by either party, employer still pays for the ticket. You're luckier compared to me. I had a dh who terminated her own contract after only a month of working for us as she was missing her daughter. I wasn't very happy too as we waited for her for 2 months (her previous employer terminated her), paid for everything so as she can come to HK again and just to resign from her post after a month? : /
No matter how unreasonable, she's still entitled for what's written in the contract i.e. air ticket, wages in lieu etc.

Hi again, thanks for the advice. Well, I must be within the 1% that do not enjoy the benefit of a flight to my home country. Anyway, that's not hte point and yes I do agree that there muct be some responsibility on the DH's part to contribute to her own ticket especially if she is terminating the contract. My DH says the nearest airport for her is SOLO??? I am wondering if it is because it is more convenient for her thus making you pay for it. I would not mind paying for her flight to Jakarta and then the train or bus etc to SOLO!
Thanks again.
