HR Chat: Company Vehicles

You have a company-owned vehicle for your employees to use when they are visiting clients, and you have a policy that prohibits your employees from smoking tobacco while inside the vehicle.

One of your employees used the vehicle, and upon return there was trash inside, as well as the smell of cigarette smoke. When you confronted the employee, they denied that they were smoking inside the vehicle.

With a strong reasonable suspicion, the employee violated your policy, but no physical proof, you are uncertain of what you can legally do to discipline the employee.

Everyday employee issues like these are where mistakes are made and end up costing your business. Acting without first consulting with your employment attorney are unnecessary risks you no longer have to take with your ASK HR subscription with myHRcounsel. Unlimited and on-demand access to employment attorneys for everyday employment issues saves you time and money and a visit from the EEOC.
