REGINA – An employee who stole more than $17,000 from SaskTel over 18 months has to pay it all back.

The Saskatchewan government reported Monday that the employee put credit on their own SaskTel account, put refund amounts into their own bank account, and stole money from the cash drawer from August 2011 to January 2013.

When it was discovered, SaskTel told police and fired the employee – now the company has won a suit against the employee to get back the money they stole.
