Do I have to tell my employer if I get a DWI DUI?
This depends on how you are employed and what your job requirements are. If you have some type of employment contract, there may be something in that contract that requires you to disclose and DWI/DUI convictions.
If you do not disclose, it could be grounds for immediate termination of your contract.
If you do not have a contract, you still may need to disclose to your employer. There may be a policy or a company handbook that requires you to disclose a DWI/DUI charge or conviction. You should check and see if there are any policies that require disclosure prior to making your decision.
Additionally, if your job requires driving, or if you have a company car, you will likely need to disclose that DWI/DUI to your employer, as it could affect their ability to insure you as a driver.
If you are charged with a DWI/DUI, contact the attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. We can help you through these confusing waters, and come up with the best strategy for your case.
