Failure to sign does not affect the effectiveness of the administrative penalty decision, as long as it is indicated when it is delivered. If there is any objection to the administrative punishment, it may be brought for administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. It is ok for the parties to issue the notice of administrative punishment not to sign, and the failure to sign will not affect the entry into force of the decision on administrative punishment. The notice of administrative punishment not only refers to the content of legal sanctions against illegal personnel, but also includes the content of administrative personnel punishment stipulated by enterprises. Administrative punishment is the principle of fairness and justice and the principle of no longer punishing one thing.

administrative punishment in a narrow sense refers to a specific administrative act in which an administrative organ or other administrative subject gives administrative sanctions to a relative person who violates administrative regulations and does not constitute a crime according to law. In addition to the narrow sense mentioned above, administrative punishment in a broad sense also includes some administrative and personnel punishments stipulated by enterprises and institutions. The principle of fair punishment means that the establishment and implementation of administrative punishment must be commensurate with the illegal facts, nature, circumstances and social harm of the relative person. Administrative organs treat the punished equally with the same scale in punishment. The principle of open punishment means that the basis, process and result of administrative punishment must be open. The administrative organ shall disclose the laws and regulations on administrative punishment, the identity of law enforcement personnel, the main factual basis and other information related to administrative punishment, except that it may endanger the interests of the public or damage the legitimate rights and interests of other citizens or organizations and is specially stipulated by laws and regulations.
