Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Restitution

My employee confessed to embezelling from me, was convicted of 2 felony counts, spent 6 months in jail and is now out ordered to pay full restitution by the end of 5 years probation. Many months have passed and I hear she's paying back her mother for bail money put up but I've seen nothing. Is a payment schedule enforceable? I'm desperate for something to be coming back on the nearly $50,000 she still owes. It would seem to me that a victim should be paid before her family member.

Re: Restitution

I agree with Terry, call the prosecuting attorney/DA. It is grounds to have the Probation revoked. Think of her Probation as a contract with the State to make payments to you in exchange for early release. She is currently in breach. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact me directly through this site or on one of our firm's sites such as RulesOfEmployment.com.
