This feature ensures that minor or general violations logged against an employee are automatically cleared or reset at the start of each calendar year, promoting a fair opportunity for behavioral improvement and fresh evaluation cycles. 

This approach balances progressive discipline with fairness by:

1. Allowing employees to start each year with a clean slate for minor issues

2. Maintaining accountability for serious or repeated misconduct

3. Supporting clear, accurate, and compliant HR documentation

Ideal for HR teams managing long-term records while preventing outdated infractions from impacting future evaluations.
