| Bungi, I was thinking on the way home on the train tonight: You will need to consult a legal expert in this, I regret. Every aspect can be deciphered in a different way. IF your contract & terms of employment makes provision for termination of employment, should you become disqualifed from driving - the company may be able to dismiss you without even giving one warning (we sadly lost an employee over this, last year). If there is no provision regarding this, it could still be construed as gross misconduct - and even abusing company property!  On a lighter note, if not able to drive for long (say 30 - 60 days), and work are happy with the rest of your employment, you could be retained in the office for this time - but put on a 'suspension' period when your licence came back. This would mean, any further infringement of the same type, would result in immediate dismissal. PLEASE see an employment specialist asap, with all the relevant paperwork - at least for a one-off consultation. Contact Red Ruth. Charlotte ps: JP - contracts need to be presented by employer by the time you have completed 30 days employment.  |
