A Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) investigation has found that a former Queensland Health payroll employee allegedly claimed approximately $36,500 in fraudulent overtime and penalty payments.
The CMC today issued the 35-year-old Caboolture woman with a Notice to Appear in Court on 46 counts of fraud contrary to Section 408C(1)(e) and (2)(b) of the Queensland Criminal Code.
The former public servant was appointed to help manage an increased workload following the introduction of the new health payroll system in March 2010.
The CMC will allege she made 46 fraudulent claims for overtime and penalty payments between May 2010 and August 2011.
She is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 29 July 2014.
As the matter is now before the courts, the CMC is unable to comment further.
