    How should I deal with this staff member

    I have just had a staff meeting for the benefit of her return to work she has worked for me for 4 years but not without problems. I feel like she has a disrespect for me as her boss. She has just taken a sub from the till without permission. Let herself in the shop at 9 at night without permission.
