I was terminated by my employer for failure to maintain a valid driver's license on 6/28/16.
5 invalid status's on my mvr report due texas surcharge program and moving
First suspension was July of last year, then September, so on and so on up til the last one, 5/31/16.
I found out afterwards, requesting a copy of my MVR, my employer was notified each time there was a status change on my license. Meaning, it was reported to them on the same day of each suspension, on the day the status changed. In my termination document, my employer describes that it ran a report from Supervision, third party CRA and WOW, 5 suspensions!
I was not aware of any of the suspensions due to moving last year. Texas surcharge program had my old address on file which I didn't update. No correspondence received indicating suspensions.
On 5/31/16, my employer received another status change of invalid license. I was placed on suspension 6/23/16 and terminated on 6/28/16 for
"failure to maintain my driver’s license"
Driving responsibilities were a big part of that job... using my personal vehicle.
Did my employer have a legal duty to provide ordinary care, to take affirmative action, to inform and advise me my driver license were suspended on those dates. My employer demonstrated by it’s own actions, intentional and substantial disregard of it’s employee’s interest and that such negligence constitutes, mismanagement of authority of leadership in the company and duty to it’s employees.
The legal question here isn’t, is my employer responsible for maintaining my driver’s license, or updating my address or my stupidity and own negligence.....
The legal question is, was my employer responsible and negligent in it’s responsibilities and duty leading up to their decision to terminate my employment on 6/28/16?
Does my employer possess some liabilty here?
I've already filed a complaint with the EEOC and FTC.
