Administrative sanctions are non-criminal penalties or disciplinary measures imposed by an administrative authority (like an agency or an employer) to enforce rules, maintain discipline, or ensure regulatory compliance.

In many legal and workplace/clearance contexts, the following are commonly treated as administrative sanctions :

  • Suspension (for example, suspension from duties, suspension without pay, or suspension of a license or eligibility).
  • Revocation or cancellation of a license, permit, certification, or security eligibility.
  • Termination of employment or removal from a position as a disciplinary measure (in a disciplinary/clearance context, this is often listed alongside other administrative sanctions).
  • Monetary or civil fines imposed by an agency for regulatory violations.
  • Disqualification or debarment from participating in government programs, contracting, or bidding.
  • Cease-and-desist or corrective-action orders issued by a regulator for non-compliance.
  • Blacklisting or removal of prequalification status (e.g., being barred from future tenders or contracts).

If your original question is multipleā€‘choice (ā€œWhich of the following are administrative sanctions?ā€), then any choices that match the types above (suspension, revocation of eligibility or license, termination as a disciplinary measure, fines, debarment/blacklisting, ceaseā€‘andā€‘desist or corrective orders) are the ones you should select as administrative sanctions.
