If an employee temporarily loses his/her driver's license and COL, the employee must <br />obtain a valid work permit that allows them to drive non-commercial vehicles during <br />work hours. An employee that has no valid license may be required to use paid leave until <br />they are able to obtain a valid work permit. An employee who does not obtain a drivers <br />license within ninety (90) days will be terminated. <br />2. In the opinion of the Department Head, there must be sufficient bargaining unit work that <br />does not require a CDL and the impacted employee shall possess the skills and abilities to <br />successfully undertake those tasks. <br />If there is sufficient work, the Employer will accommodate an employee who temporarily <br />loses his/her CDL license for a period not to exceed one (I) year. The one (I) year period <br />begins as of the date of his/her license revocation. If the employee does not have their <br />CDL reinstated within one (1) year, the employee will be terminated. <br />4. If the temporary loss of a driver's license is the result of an alcohol -related offense, the <br />employee will be required to comply with the recommendations of a Substance Abuse <br />Professional. Proof of compliance with the Substance Abuse Professional <br />recommendations will be provided to the Employer. <br />This agreement applies to driving violations outside the work place. This agreement <br />does not include positive test results from the Department of Transportation's <br />required random testing. <br />6. A twenty-five percent (25%) decrease in pay will begin as of the revocation date. <br />Any lost wages during the revocation of the employee's drivers license/COL will <br />not be reimbursed regardless of the outcome of any subsequent contesting of the <br />revocation. <br />This Memorandum of Understanding will remain in effect from January 1, 2025 through <br />December 31, 2027. As of January 1, 2025 the Letter may be eliminated at the request of either <br />party. <br />21 <br />
