The CMC said the woman allegedly claimed the money as fraudulent overtime and penalty payments between May 2010 and August 2011.

She had been hired to help manage a new payroll system which was introduced in March 2010.

The CMC said no further comment could be provided.

The woman will face Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 29.
