The basic structure has been developed by our insurance company and is intended to assure that Employment Link makes every effort to assure that corporate driving operation are responsible and safe.

The following definitions apply to this procedure:
Accident - An accident is an event recorded on the MVR that results in bodily injury or significant property damage
Moving Violation - A moving violation is a violation recorded on the MVR that occurs as a result of action or inaction taken by the driver while the automobile is in motion
Termination/Reassignment - The program’s management reserves the right to terminate or reassign an employee consistent with MVR grading technique described within this procedure. Reassignment is reserved subject to the availability of a proper different job and the dictates of the circumstances and situations at that specific time, as determined solely by and at the discretion of management
Serious Violation - (as spelled out in our insurance company’s driver selection standards) A serious violation includes but is not limited to moving violations such as: driving while intoxicated or under and influence, driving without a license, leaving the scene of a hit and run, permitting an unlicensed individual to drive, reckless or careless driving, and any other violations that may be added by our insurance company and/or by the authorities in our State or Federal jurisdiction
