Salesman has pre-existing DWI, but needs to travel for sales calls
Well-adjusted employee has a DWI
(fairly mild, no breathalyzer test, or
testing of any kind for that matter)
on his record from before he
started working here. He's been
doing a great job, has built a
relationship with quite a few
clients, and is really just now
starting to come into his own.
We just found out today that
insurance won't cover him, and
furthermore that we may be liable if
we send him on sales calls and he
gets in an accident - even if it's not
related to drinking.
Our only option would be to let him
go, because traveling is an
absolute must, but we'd like not to
do that. Do we have any other
options on the table? Are we really
liable for anything that happens to
him on the road, simply because of
his previous DWI?
I would appreciate any help given
on this subject. He's a good guy,
supporting a new baby and a wife,
and we really don't want to kick him
out into the current job-hunting
market if we can afford it.

Get him to get an SR-22 insurance, that should cover you
