What is one of the actions the Department can take against violators?

The action of probation is a corrective measure that the Department can impose on violators to mitigate their conduct while allowing them an opportunity to comply with standards or regulations. This implies that the violator has the chance to improve their behavior under monitoring, rather than facing immediate and more severe penalties. Probation serves as a form of supervision aimed at ensuring future compliance and can encompass specific conditions that the violator must adhere to during the probationary period. This approach balances accountability with a chance for rehabilitation, emphasizing the notion that violations can sometimes be addressed without jumping directly to more extreme punitive measures.

In contrast, other options such as verbal warnings and suspended payments may not fit the severity or formal nature of consequences deemed necessary for certain violations. Disqualification from future service represents a more permanent solution, which may be more appropriate for severe or persistent violations, but probation allows for a more flexible and corrective response to issues that could potentially be resolved through improvement and adherence to guidelines.
