There are ways of handling this case differently from employer and employee. Let's start with the hiring phase:
1. The employer did not ask the candidate any questions about his ability to perform the job (asking questions can help you decide if the candidate is fit for the job).
2. The employer failed to ask if there are any issues with the availability to attend these days/hours and mandatory meetings (Addressing the issues of hours and days during interviews will cause fewer problems during their time at the company).
3. When the employer mentioned the candidate would receive the truck, gas card, and cleaning equipment, she should have expressed with emphasis that these three items can only be used for company purposes and not for personal use at any given time.

2. Due to his personal issues, I would find him another position that would benefit the company's needs and his (Try to give him another chance to prove himself).
3. Let the employee understand how he is affecting the company's reputation and stopping it from
