We hired a housemaid that was stealing money from the daily budget box. I planted a trap and I have confirmed that it was her who took $4 from the box. But I did not tell her. We just kept the box in our bedroom. After some time we persuaded her to apply for a job abroad. She did and we were happy that she left. There is no room in our home for a dishonest house helper.For me, You should punish them first by getting some money back from their salary, and second, you can kick them off because you don't need them anymore.
Dishonest isn't something easy to forgive.
