Well, theres a couple things to address here:
As mentioned above if the designer is in "explore mode" then I think it's ok to break from styles and symbols.
If the system is defined and there isn't a need to explore outside of those perimeters, then you probably want them to keep the system styling.
If thats the case and they are still breaking away, then the issue is probably that they are not comfortable with the tools and workflows that Sketch has. Which is understandable and totally normal for anyone not familiar with the process. They most likely need some tutoring and extra time to adjust.
How you deal with it?
Are you his senior or supervisor on the project?
If so pull rank and lay down the law on how the work needs to be completed. Address the issue by explaining why you're not happy with the way he is completing the work and then teach him. Don't leave him hanging.
It's gonna hurt, he might not like it. its gonna be extra work for both of you. But if you know better and are senior, its your responsibility to train him and make him better.
I'm not saying its easy, but thats what being experienced is all about.
