A former payroll manager embezzled about $421,000 from a record label that features rock artists ranging from Megadeth to the Steve Miller Band, authorities said.

Sharanda Houser was being held on $25,000 bail after pleading not guilty yesterday to grand larceny and falsifying business records.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office charges Houser, 38, stole from Roadrunner Records for six years before being fired for unrelated reasons last year.

Prosecutors say she submitted bogus expenses in executives’ names and had the reimbursements wired to her.
