Hello,
I and others in my department have recently been told we need to provide proof of a valid drivers license and vehicle insurance, to my employer each month.
For my full time, exempt, position; having a vehicle was not a requirement to be hired, nor am I currently required to have and operate a vehicle in the performance of my job. Driving my own vehicle to work related meetings is rare, occurring once or twice a month. Further, while my employer does have company owned vehicles, my position neither requires or allows me to use those vehicles. Any business related travel is in my own vehicle
We do have hundreds of employees in other divisions of the company in positions where a operating a personal or company vehicle on a daily basis IS a condition of employment. By company policy, these employees are required to have a vehicle, license and insurance and they must submit proof monthly .
It seems like my employer is overreaching in applying this requirement to positions where a vehicle is not a condition of employment and I would rather not provide any information which is not legally required.
I live and work in Illinois. Is it legal for my employer to demand access to this information from me each month? If not, what is my recourse.
I appreciate any guidance you can provide.
- Thanks
