If a manager in a company keeps the fact you stole from the company secret as long as you pay off the balance on your perfectly legitimate employee account?

The duration of pressure was 4 months, and as soon as the debt was paid the offense was revealed

Did I mention I went to him with the undocumented items?

If the balance is on the employee account is the same in value as what you stole, then I'd say no, he did you a favor in not exposing and firing you and gave you a chance to right your wrong.
Even if it's more, it's not necessarily extortion because if the threat is to fire you, there's a perfectly legitimate reason to do so.

How about extortion and embezzlement, and violation of trade mark and copyright laws- almost like blackmail and stealing company money back into the employer's hands that you stole from the company for charges against the employer, and criminal negligence and violation of trade mark and copyright laws against you. And, I could pretend to be the lawyer for both of you, do up a contract to nullify the charges against both of you, and legally take a fee or percentage of your money to resolve the situation while I go to the Bahamas and have a nice steak and lobster dinner!

Blackmail? Nope. It seems like he is helping you. That, as well as you have to pay for it anyway, especially if they sue you in court. It's embezzling in the company's funds. You should pay it, it's only right.
Extortion? Hello, you stole the money! It would have been you doing the extortion, woyldn't it? Besides, if they brought it to court it would have cost you a pretty penny anyhow.

extortion n. obtaining money or property by threat to a victim's property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of a right (such as pretending to be an I.R.S. agent). It is a felony in all states, except that a direct threat to harm the victim is usually treated as the crime of robbery. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing damaging information to family, friends or the public. (See: blackmail, robbery, theft)

No it's doesn't fall under either category, but they are only wanting you to pay off your legitimate account so they can terminate you. If they fire you know they will not only lose the money you stole but the money you legitimately owe them. Look for another job. And quit stealing

Blackmailing is when you get harmed from it. It seems like you are more benefiting from it than getting harmed. He is not blackmailing you, he is doing you a favor.
