§ 2-384. Driver's license.


Latest version.
  • Any employee whose work requires that he/she drive a City vehicle must hold a valid Illinois Driver's License.

    All new employees who will be assigned work entailing the operating of a City vehicle will be required to submit to a Secretary of State driving records check as a condition of employment. The employee's Department Head or designee shall process such checks. A report indicating a suspended or revoked license status may result in denial or termination of employment.

    Department Heads or their designee shall make periodic checks (at least once per year) of an employee's driver's license status. Any employee who does not hold a valid driver's license will not be allowed to operate City vehicles until such time as he/she obtains a valid license and may be discharged, depending upon all of the relevant circumstances.

    Any employee performing work which requires the operation of a City vehicle must notify their Department Head in those cases where his/her license is expired, suspended or revoked and/or who is unable to obtain an occupational permit from the Secretary of State on the next business day following the employee's receipt of notification. If an employee fails to report such an instance, he/she is subject to corrective action, including demotion or termination. An employee who fails to immediately report such revocation or suspension to his/her supervisor and continues to operate a City vehicle shall be subject to termination.
