Invitation to an employee disqualified from driving

This Letter inviting an employee disqualified from driving to a meeting should be used to invite an employee to a meeting to discuss the effect of disqualification from driving on their ability to carry out their duties. The letter states the time, date and location of the meeting; that the employee has the right to be accompanied, and will have an opportunity to make suggestions.

The letter explains the purpose of the meeting and warns the employee that dismissal is a possible outcome of the meeting.

The fact that an employee cannot continue to work in their job without contravening a duty or restriction imposed by statute is a potentially fair reason for dismissal. This is known as a “statutory bar” dismissal and may include a scenario where an employee is disqualified from driving and driving is part of their job.

The employer must act reasonably in treating the statutory bar as a valid reason for dismissing an employee. In order for the dismissal to be fair, the employer must consult the employee adequately and give proper consideration to suggestions made by the employee to avoid dismissal.
