Editor:You're best off learning how the individual characters work, rather than learning each word as something new ~
罚钱 = 罚 (to impose a penalty in the form of) + 钱 (money -- i.e. a fine)
罚跪 = 罚 (to impose a penalty in the form of) 跪 (kneeling)
罚站 = 罚 (to impose a penalty in the form of) + 站 (standing)
罚做苦工 = 罚 (to impose a penalty in the form of) + 做苦工 (doing hard labor)

... and there are more like these that you may not find in a dictionary, but if you know how 罚 works, they'll be pretty obvious, as 罚钱 is pretty obvious itself.
