Reprimand

A formal disciplinary letter issued to an employee by a management official who has authority to discipline the employee. The Letter of Reprimand is  the least severe formal penalty. It is a disciplinary action - not an adverse action - because the causes are due to delinquency or misconduct personally attributable to the employee.
 
 The Reprimand is used to correct significant misconduct or delinquency and repeated lesser offenses. It is a severe disciplinary action that should be adequate for many disciplinary situations which require an action  more severe than a
written or oral admonishment.
