Русско-англо-русский юридический словарь

In general terms, professional misconduct is unethical or unprofessional behaviour that falls short of the ethical or professional standards, guides or codes of conduct, accepted by a particular profession.

The list of things that could be classed as minor misconduct is endless; however, as an HR representative it is important to consider the following examples:

• • Persistent lateness
• • Not completing a piece of work on time
• • Not following a manager's instruction
• • Doing a piece of work incorrectly
• • Not managing your attendance correctly
• • Not following procedures properly

Official misconduct generally refers to the misconduct of an official in relation to his or her duty as a public servant. (Legal Information Institute)
