employer liability - do we dismiss employee

Aug 1st, 2008, 09:59 AM

My question is in regards to liability that we as an employer have. We have an employee who had a felony approx 25 years ago. Served his time and has kept out of trouble since. We have a business in which we make deliveries of our product to customer homes. What is our liabilty in allowing this employee to make in-home deliveries? (His felony was not robbery related.)
One of our partners thinks we should get rid of this employee and never allow him to make deliveries. He is a very good worker and very competent in his job. Wondering what is the legal thing to do? Thank you.

You do not have to let him continue--it is up to you.

You could also discuss with your nearest dept of labor office if you wish--
