SHOP worker Nicola Culley is starting a two-year community rehabilitation order after she was found guilty of stealing from her employers.
In November a jury at Swindon Crown Court convicted her of 11 charges of theft.
A total of 10 involved the QS store in Swindon between December 18, 2000 and March 5, 2001. One involved Cotton Traders at the Great Western Designer Outlet Village in January last year.
Culley, 23, of Sheerwood Close, Stratton, denied all charges.
Prosecutor Susan Evans told Judge Thomas Longbotham that Culley stole takings from the stores totalling £22,483.10.
Culley's counsel, Robin Shellard, said a psychiatric report on his client identified "issues which definitely need to be dealt with, particularly with the offending".
The judge also imposed an order requiring Culley to do 80 hours of unpaid work for the community.
