Well that depends on the amount and the circumstances in which it was was embezzled will determine the type of sentence given.

You don't say how much you took. You likely will be charged with a felony and get jail time. You also must pay the money back.

You probably would not do any jail time but need to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.

I have dealt this type of case many times so I will give you some advise. Don't fool yourself. It will be a miracle if you don't get charged with Theft even if you pay back the money. YES pay back the money. You need to do it for yourself and for this situation but understand that you will probably get charged. If this is an Eastern WA state case and you don't have an attorney contact me. I live in Moses Lake, WA but I handle all types of criminal cases throughout Eastern WA.

It's impossible to give you any guess about punishment without more information from you. We have progressive sentencing, but the judge still has a lot of discretion.

Hire a lawyer before you fall for his tricks. 9 times out of 10 if you keep your mouth closed no charges will be forthcoming. Most people seal their own fate by opening their mouths and forgetting they have the right to remain silent.

The possible length of incarceration will depend on the amount of money involved. There are various levels of crimes that are differentiated by quantity. Specific details are needed to really be able to give you a better expectation of what you are facing. You could face probation, jail, or prison, there are just too many variables and unknowns to give you a good answer at this time.
