In light of the issue of liability for the
county when employees use vehicles (personal or county owned), in the line of
their work, on a regular basis or if at any time involving the transport of
clients, wards, or residents of the county, then for use in screening for and
employment purposes the following shall be used a guide:
Points
Points
are valid on a driving record for only 3 years (unless involving alcohol-related
incidents which are held 5 years), then the maximum points a person can have on
their record is
4 points
in 5 years.
Accidents
Any person cited for being at fault in 2 or
more accidents in the last 5 years shall not be considered further for
employment.
Any person involved in 4 or more accidents
in the last 5 years, even where the person is not at fault, shall not be
considered further for employment.
Restricted/Suspended Licenses
Furthermore, any person who is or, has been
under a restricted driver's license in the last 3 years shall not be considered
further for employment.
Finally, any person who has had a revoked or
suspended license for reasons that involve the actual operation of a vehicle, or
the failure to comply with ordinances and laws governing the operation of a
vehicle (non- payment of traffic or parking tickets) over the last 5 years shall
not be considered further for employment.
This does not include suspensions of
a license due to other State Administrative actions being taken as: Sanctions
and/or Fines for events un-related to operating a vehicle. (examples include,
but are not limited to: Minor in possession of alcohol- non vehicle related,
Non-payment of child support, etc.)
This policy shall only be a consideration in positions where
the operation of a motorized vehicle is a duty of the position they are applying
for, or is a tool used during the random course of every day employment for
business travel during county time or used in the transportation of people and
or materials as a duty of employment.
THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ALL AREAS
TO BE CONSIDERED, OTHER SITUATIONS MAY APPLY
