The co-owner of a former housecleaning business in Snohomish County, Washington, must pay more than $11,700 for her role in a scheme to avoid paying workers compensation insurance, the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries announced Thursday.
Monica Ann Covey-Standley, 40, pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree theft of wages and attempted false reporting of workers comp information, both gross misdemeanor offenses, according to a press statement.
Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas ordered Ms. Covey-Standley to pay the amount of workers comp premiums she and her then-husband, Blake Joseph Standley, failed to pay for employees of their housecleaning company, Kogaty Interiors, according to the statement.
Standley, 40, of Bothell, Washington, previously pleaded guilty to the same charges as his ex-wife, and received a similar sentence, according to the statement.
