Driver's License Monitoring
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who must have a valid driver's license?
Employees that have jobs that require driving must possess a valid Arizona driver's license.
Can an employee's driver's license be monitored?
Yes. A supervisor can ask the employee to present a valid license or verify that the license is valid upon employment or at any time the department has a question regarding the license's validity.
When must an employee present a valid license?
On the first day of employment and at the request of the supervisor.
What happens if an employee whose job requires a license doesn't present a valid license or provide a status change?
An ASU employee who is required to have a valid license must report any license status changes such as suspension, revocation or expiration to their supervisor. Failure to do so is in direct violation of job duties and ASU policy and may result in discipline and/or involuntary termination. If the employee has continued to operate ASU vehicles or equipment during this time, this is cause for immediate disciplinary action up to and including termination.
What if an employee properly reports a license status change?
Since the ASU employee is prohibited from driving an ASU vehicle, the supervisor may temporarily reassign the employee to other job duties that do not require driving or operating equipment or the employee may be placed on vacation with pay (accrued leave time) or be suspended without pay, dependent upon the circumstances.
