Driver's License as a Requirement on Job Description

5699922

Has anyone dealt with Depts that want to make having a driver's license a "requirement" on a job description for an Admn Assistant position when it does not seem like an essential job function but more like an additional job function, a "nice to have" but not mandatory?

If they can't demonstrate job relatedness, then allowing it would be to allow any other non-job-related posession requirement.  Why not require a license to sell insurance in a different state, too, just in case your company gets in that line of business...?
