When to use this driving disqualification meeting letter

Use this letter where an employee’s job cannot be performed, or cannot be performed fully, because they are no longer legally allowed to drive.

Driving disqualification and statutory bar dismissal

Where an employee cannot continue in their job without contravening a duty or restriction imposed by statute, this may amount to a potentially fair reason for dismissal.

This is commonly described as a statutory bar dismissal and can include a case where an employee is disqualified from driving and driving is an essential part of the job.

Consultation before any dismissal decision

An employer must act reasonably if relying on a statutory bar as the reason for dismissal.

To dismiss fairly, the employer should consult the employee properly and give genuine consideration to any suggestions the employee makes to avoid dismissal.
