Yes. Once every twelve months is what UPS has been running for years. The following excerpt is from the notice UPS provided us:
"All UPS drivers
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require UPS to make an annual inquiry into each of your Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) and ensure that you submit a Motor Vehicle Driver Certification (MVDC)" THAT'S what is required by law. UPS even acknowledges this.
What UPS NOW has access to more is much more invasive and not required by law. We just want to submit our MVDC; not agree to all of this other Real Time BS.
Under this new major change; UPS can access your driving records and "other" records in real time.
Driver MVR Monitoring - Find out about DUIs/Suspensions & more in real-time Watch the video. What does the "
much more" consist of?
It also appears UPS is not in compliance and possibly acting illegally.
- Disclosure: This notice must be given to the applicant or employee independently of other paperwork. For applicants, for example, you cannot include the disclosure statement on the application. The disclosure must be clear and conspicuous, in writing and consist solely of the disclosure. If you intend to run periodic MVRs on a driver after they’re hired (as part of an MVR Monitoring program, for example), that information must be very clearly stated within the disclosure.
- Authorization: You must receive authorization from the driver that acknowledges they received the Disclosure. The driver must also give their consent before you can obtain their motor vehicle report.
- Summary of Rights: The driver must be provided with a copy of the “Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.”
Additionally, you must certify that you’re running compliant motor vehicle reports with the background check company that is running your searches. Through this process, you must certify you’ve provided the consumer with the disclosure, received authorization and will not misuse the information or discriminate based on the results."
Did anyone receive a separate disclosure form clearly stating that periodic (or even real time) MVRs will be run? This disclosure is required by law.
If you signed that form and stated that you received that "supposed" disclosure; but did not receive it; are you in violation of anything or can it be construed as being dishonest? You did not receive it. It is not posted on the UPSers.com website or the Human Resources pages where you MDVR form is located.
We probably did receive the Summary of Rights Under the FCRA when we hired in.
