Driver’s Licence Employees operating a vehicle are required to have a valid driver’s licence of the proper classification for the type of vehicle being driven. Employees whose licence has been revoked, suspended or becomes void, and holding a valid licence is a requirement of their position, are required to advise their manager immediately and to cease operation of all vehicles while on corporate business. An employee’s loss of driving privileges may jeopardize continued employment with the Company.
