Thanks. It's not that complicated actually. Just saw her asking for her "bonus" early. That would be wrong and I would have gone to my accountant if my PC was giving out bonuses on her own. I think when I emailed the PC every which way to find out what the deal was she was trying to say:
Stipends: The monthly payment to the biller for taking over the onsite PM.
Bonuses: Any and all bonuses that she may get. This is where the confusion lies. She only gets one bonus.The Christmas bonus.
Bonus: She kept stating she gets the Christmas bonus like everyone else.
The problem was she kept saying she received: 1) pay 2) monthly stipends 3) bonuses and 4) a Christmas bonus. Which was a pretty stupid way to say it.
The way I figured it out was, I asked my biller if she received a stipend (should just call it a monthly salary or payment) for doing the extra PM work. Since she had asked for her $500 up front and her next one early, it couldn't be a percentage, like a bonus derived from charges, etc. So.....I figured all I had to do was ask her how much does she get paid monthly for the extra work. If she said ANYTHING other than $500, there would be an issue. But, she said. $500. Meaning, she gets $500 a month extra for the PM. She doesn't get bonuses on top of that. I think my PM was drinking or something. Still giving it early without my consent was wrong, but not a huge deal.
