The owner of a Central California staffing company was convicted of underreporting payroll to fraudulently avoid paying more than a half-million dollars in workers’ compensation premiums.
Aileen Ramirez, 31, in February pleaded no contest to charges that she knowingly made false statements to State Compensation Insurance Fund, the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Ramirez, owner and chief executive officer of Quality Employment Services LLC in Modesto, underreported $2.8 million in payroll between February 2012 and August 2014, reducing her work comp premiums by $525,253.
On Thursday, she was ordered to pay the full amount of the loss as restitution to State Fund and serve 120 hours of community service, plus three years of formal probation.
