Dismissal due to Disqualification from Driving
If an employee’s job role is dependent on their holding a valid driving
licence and they have been disqualified from driving it is possible to
dismiss that employee. This is called a “statutory bar” dismissal and
arises because an employee cannot continue to work in their job without
contravening a duty or restriction imposed by statute; put simply, the act
of the driver losing their licence has caused a statutory bar for the
employer.
This subfolder contains a series of letters designed to guide employers
through the process that may lead to a “statutory bar” dismissal. The
employer must act fairly and take reasonable steps to allow the employee to
remain in the company, and fully and fairly consider all alternatives to
dismissal before reaching the decision to dismiss.
