Which report documents disciplinary action for an employee?

• A. Infraction Report
• B. Incident Report
• C. Audit Report
• D. Attendance Report

Answer: (A)

Disciplinary action is documented through an Infraction Report because an infraction signifies a violation of policy, and this report records the specifics of that violation, who was involved, the policy reference, investigation notes, and the disciplinary measures taken. It creates a formal, traceable record for HR and management to reference and follow up on. Other reports serve different purposes: an Incident Report details what happened and the immediate responses, without necessarily tying to a policy violation or disciplinary outcome; an Audit Report reviews processes and compliance controls; an Attendance Report tracks presence and absences. Since the focus is on documenting the consequences or actions taken because a policy was violated, the Infraction Report is the appropriate choice.
