Reality, call him to your office, ask him what manner of apology he's going to offer the other employee, his SO and kids (if applicable). Ask him how pissed he'd be if the tables were turned. Screws up again, then it's formal.
Human Resources should be honest about themselves and be renamed Risk Mitigation. There's no "human" in Human Resources.

This is good! Nice solution. No need to fire him or make it formal, embarass him first! I like it!
The biggest sin here and in so many cases is that he uses company equipment to play his joke.
Companies (HR-types) are so paranoid now over lawsuits it's not surprising so many would react the way they have. To over state: Nothing Human nor Humane in HR!
