Hitting a sibling means they owe the sibling restitution. I usually make the offending child do the other child's chores for a day. If its a repetitive thing, the child gets time in because they obviously need my assistance in making good decisions.

Yelling at me gets different reactions depending on the child or circumstances. It gets time in, restitution, yard work where one can yell as loudly as they want, or it may get an early bedtime so I can rest my ears of they may have to do something for me. I might just take away their privledge to speak but that has the potential to become a control battle so depends on the kids personality and issues.

I try to relate the consequence as closely to the offense as I am able.
