English term or phrase: minor conduct
I have read this term translated into "conducta menor" but it just doesn't seem right to me. Am I wrong to believe so? please let me know what you all think, I'm hoping we can come with a term that is more widely used and makes sense. I did found this translated on the web as conducta menor, but that doesn't necessarily mean is correct?

The sentence where this term is located, is in the following context:
An employee may be suspended for repeated instances of minor misconduct, failure to conform his conduct or performance to the standards of his position, or for a single serious offense.

Un empleado puede ser suspendido por repetidos casos de mala conducta ?? (menor just doesn't seem right here to me!),

Thanks so much for your help!

comportamiento indebido de gravedad leve


Explanation:
Sería una forma de expresarlo.

Conducta improcedente de carácter leve.

No sé sí existe una fraseología al uso, pero una traducción descriptiva creo que puede servir.


Oxford da:
(operation/burns) de poca importancia
(operation/burns) de poca gravedad
minor offense — delito de menor cuantía

...

Rehabilitation is, if society is not to nurture a permanent and growing criminal class, and turn those who have committed minor crimes into more serious offenders.

No sé si incluiría "conducta delictiva leve", o si la conducta o el comportamiento indebido se reduce a soltar una palabrota... pero ahí será tu contexto lo que determine cómo de fuerte lo quieres.

Este enlace también da una idea de "minor behavior"...

Explanation:
I agree with Benigno's option, but think the use of "casos de" would not be necessary in this instance.
