DRIVERS' LICENSES. Employees who are required by law shall maintain a valid Michigan commercial driver’s license (CDL). Employees regularly required to drive a district vehicle to various work sites during their shift and all Maintenance Department employees must maintain a valid Michigan automobile driver’s license. The Employer shall pay the cost of such Michigan automobile driver’s license for all such employees. All employees whose classification or work group assignment currently requires licensing to perform work of that classification must maintain such licensing as long as required by law or required by the employer. The employer's licensing requirement shall be rational and reasonable. Employees whose work groups or classifications experience changes in licensing requirements will be given up to six (6) months immediately after the change or until the next licensing opportunity, whichever is later, to obtain such licensing. This shall not be construed to mean that employees will be terminated if they do not possess a license, unless there is no available position for which they are qualified. Maintenance employees shall have their CDL licenses paid for by the district. If an employee is required to operate a motor vehicle to perform their duties, the employee must maintain a valid driver’s license. Employees are required to notify the district if their driver’s license is expired or suspended for any reason.
