disciplinary report

Official misconduct record

A disciplinary report is a formal written record documenting an employee's misconduct, policy violation, or performance failure.

It typically describes the incident, cites the rule broken, and outlines consequences or required corrections.

Disciplinary reports become part of an employee's personnel file: Three disciplinary reports in a year can lead to termination.

Also called a write-up.
