Should an employer check a driver's license of an employee who is going to drive a work car? If an employee drives a work car and doesn't have a license, who is culpable?
If the employer should check the license, is once at the start of employment sufficient, on the proviso that the employee understands that if he/she loses his/her license, he/she must not drive any vehicle, inlcuding a work vehicle?
We are checking licenses on commencement of employment and each year after that, plus assuming that if someone loses it they will let us know. I want to be able to reduce this to checking on start of employment and that's it. But what responsibility does the organisatio hold if we don't check regularly and the employee does the wrong thing?
Thanks
