Is it true that it remains the responsibility of the forensic investigator to decide which disciplinary steps will be initiated against an offending employee?

No, it is not true. The responsibility of deciding which disciplinary steps will be initiated against an offending employee typically lies with the human resources department or management team of the organization. The forensic investigator may provide information and evidence related to the employee's misconduct, but the final decision on disciplinary action is usually made by those in a managerial or HR role.
