Notification to Applicants Regarding Driving Record
Reference: Employee Handbook 2008

All candidates eligible for full-time or part-time (permanent) employment will be required to have a current license and obtain, at the candidate’s expense, an official, original 10-year driving record from the highway department(s) of each state in which the applicant held a driver’s license during the last 10 years. (The applicant will be notified by the Human Resources Department when this document is needed.) An applicant will not be eligible for employment if his/her driving record includes any of the following:

1. A Driving under the Influence (DUI) conviction within the last three (3) years. It is the policy of the City of Florence that anyone convicted of DUI during the last three (3) years shall NOT be considered eligible for employment with the City of Florence, or
2. Current suspension(s), or
3. More than four (4) points, or
4. Conviction of three (3) or more driving violations in the past three (3) years (even with no points on record), or
5. Any major traffic citation (e.g., involuntary manslaughter, more than one DUS/DUI), or
   Habitual Offender

Reminder: The category on your application form requesting information regarding “convictions” refers to both criminal and moving traffic citations (e.g., speeding, DUI, DUS). Be sure to include all appropriate information. If additional space is needed, write the information on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to your application.

Testing

Applicants for positions requiring skills assessment will be scheduled for the assessment at a time convenient for both the applicant and the City. If the applicant is unable to attend the scheduled appointment, he/she is responsible for notifying the Human Resources Dept. (843-665-3158) in advance of the appointment time. An applicant who provides advance notice will be given the opportunity to reschedule. Failure to provide proper notification will result in the application being placed in the inactive status.
