Written Reprimand. A written reprimand typically is a serious disciplinary action the employee's supervisor delivers during a private conference, although a reprimand for egregious actions may be given during a disciplinary conference with a manager present as a witness.
Several disciplinary sanctions are available to the OPR when a tax practitioner has violated Circular 230. 1  Censure â a public reprimand. 2  Suspension â from one to fifty-nine months. 3  Disbarment â five years.  Monetary Penalty â alone or in addition to any censure, suspension or disbarment.
