This will avoid irritations and bad blood subsequently, which impinges on your security at the hands of the servants. A dis-satisfied servant is a security risk, so clearing the rules before hiring shall help avoid dis-satisfaction later.
Watch for sometime his work attitude, temperament and personal traits before you place confidence in him. Remember: A greedy person can fall prey to his greed anytime. While you may have full confidence in him, never let him take you for granted in this regard.
Watch out for the type of people he meets outside the home or his activities when sent alone for shopping.
A servant who has a compulsive drinking habit is more susceptible to fall prey to greed and influences.
Always keep a current photograph of the servant and note any distinguishing marks. This would help in tracing him / her in case there is a problem.
Above all, remember that your domestic help is also a human being and his major motivation to do menial work is to earn money somehow. So, avoid any unnecessary display of wealth or flash around your jewellery. Also, the ladies of the house should wear proper dress in a presence of a grown-up male servant. This could avoid sex related crimes later.
