Motor Vehicle Licenses

Motor vehicle license checks will be made through an independent professional investigation firm on candidates applying for positions that entail access to the university’s vehicle fleet and/or otherwise require a valid driver’s license to perform the job. Additional motor vehicle license checks may be performed throughout employment. If the record indicates negligent driving, loss of license, and/or a pattern of repeated violations, this will be treated as an indication of poor judgment or lack of behavioral control and may disqualify a candidate or employee for particular positions.

Employees whose positions require driving personal or university vehicles are required to maintain an unrestricted, valid driver’s license and insurance coverage as long as they are in the position necessitating this requirement. Employees must promptly report any changes in restrictions on their license or in insurance coverage to their supervisor and Employee Relations. Employees whose job duties require them to be covered by university insurance must qualify for university insurance. Any decision by the outside insurance company they will no longer cover an employee whose job duties requires them to drive will be considered an inability to meet the essential functions of the position and result in an involuntary resignation. The employee will remain eligible for rehire.
