Yes it is a proper timeline as it takes time to find and record evidential data, as well as investigate, if there was any type of union involved, whether you were a member or not they problably looked into it as well to make sure you weren't terminated without provocation. The state also had to be apprised of what was going on, as well as the government. See, when you stole from your employer you also stole local, state and federal revenue as what you stole would have been eventually taxed in some shape or form, you basically screwed yourself all around.

Who are "they".
The police/prosecutor can only bring charges (take you to court) after the crime and evidence are certain and (sometimes) with the offended party's insistence and cooperation..
Your employer may sue you (take you to court) to gain restitution or damages.
In either event there is a statute of limitations that I believe is far beyond a year for felony crime (which requires theft a certain $ amount). These conditions vary from state to state.
I'd say you are on thin ice. If you did it you might consider a do-it-yourself plea bargain or "arrangement" and not bother to pay an expensive lawyer a dime. You'll save a lot of time and money that way. Prosecutors are surprisingly lenient with repentant nonviolent criminals.

The administrative case of terminating you is a separate case from the criminal case which had not yet prescribed. Thus, your employer can still file the charge of theft against you even if it was committed one year ago.

I do believe that the statue of limitations is two years...Good luck on that, be ready to get sued, if I were you I would take any kind of settlement they may be offering you now..

Don't you mean your employment was terminated. If you were terminated I consider this a little harsh.

Yes. One year between crime and court is about right.
