Employment Verification Request

HRFLDist

I am being asked to complete an non-DOT employment verification for a former driver who is applying for a driving position. Normally I would receive a separate form that asks about drug screen history but the one I received does not. My concern is we terminated this person for a post accident drug screen that happened during his first 90 days. Am I required to disclose this information if they are not specifically asking for it? Thanks!

That's a very narrow area.  You probably need to talk to counsel, DOT, or a HR expert with substantial DOT experience.  We used to have a pretty lively DOT crowd here.  Maybe one will chime in soon.  Things can get quiet around the holidays.

It is my understanding that former DOT employers are required to disclose this information whether it is asked for or not.
