Good news, I started researching flights to Switzerland for you to get you the BEST possible deal with the departure date of August 7th, 2015. I was able to search for fully refundable tickets with NO penalty to change the return flight.
Now the bad news, I had no idea what city she wants to fly there from. I'm assuming it's somewhere between MIA, BGR, SEA or SAN. Am I close?

Perhaps your daughter qualifies as a student. Take a look at the requirements of student fares at studentuniverse.com and statravel.com. Often times one-way fares can be found significantly lower than they are publicly offered; a similarly discounted return ticket can be purchased later.
Also take a look at discounted tickets available through ticket consolidators. www.dohop.com, www.onetravel.com, www.airfare.com, etc.
Lastly, consider low cost carriers. You might find better fares into France or Germany from where she can easily go overland.

It sounds like the price of a ticket is a stretch for this family. I'd really insist on the employers purchasing a valid roundtrip ticket, or the girl might be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

as the OP hasn't been back since the first post, and the travel at issue is very likely booked, continued speculative posts are not serving any point.

Except that it does sound as if the young woman will be subject to possible sanctions as an illegal worker.
