How Should a New HR Handle Disrespect from Employees After Issuing Warnings?

Handling Disrespectful Behavior from Employees

I'm a fresher in HR and joined the company 5 months ago. My problem is that some employees are breaking rules, which are policy-related. As per my role, if anyone breaks rules more than three times, I have to send a professional email and issue a warning. I have done this with two employees, both from the marketing department. They took it personally and sometimes behave disrespectfully towards me.

Seeking Advice on Addressing the Situation

What can I do in this situation? The previous HR person gave them full priority and didn't take any action when the marketing people did wrong because her husband worked in marketing, showing partiality. Now, I am in HR, and our company has a strength of over 50 employees. No one else faces this issue except me, but only marketing people do this to me.

As I am new in HR, that's why they are treating me this way. Please help me with what I can do.
