Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey
Authorize employer to seek motor vehicle records
My employer is requiring me to sign a release form stating that I give my permission allowing the employer to request my Motor vehicle records.
I have worked for them for 4 years as a part time merchandiser using my own car and insurance to drive for company business. In the past I have complied by issuing copies of my Drivers License and SS card. - I would like to know what my rights are regarding my privacy as related to this request?
Thank you.

This is not a question that I could answer over this computer bulletin board. And this could be important for you. I suggest that you do need to talk to a lawyer about this, and get some solid advice.
If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Re: Authorize employer to seek motor vehicle records
While this may seem an invasion of privacy, you are using your car for employer business. Were you to have an accident, they are at risk, so they have an interest in knowing your driver history; particularly if you have your license suspended or driving privileges revoked. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship. Omitted facts could result in a different reply.
