Linda Rae Kleve also awarded herself a commission on the auto and home policies she obtained, and wrote herself a check for days off that she had not accrued.
The Osceola County District Court found that Kleve committed 137 individual acts of theft from the company over a period of six years, the news source reports.
According to company president Wade Ellerbroek, Kleve's conduct cost the business more than $4,000 in payroll expenses and resulted in approximately 300 hours of additional work for employees.
