Employee Consent
Clear, written consent that authorizes MVR access and ongoing monitoring, with an explanation of scope and duration.
An EPN centralizes driver-monitoring, reduces manual MVR requests, and helps spot disqualifying events quickly. For employers with CDL or fleet drivers, EPNs support regulatory compliance, lower crash risk through faster intervention, and create an auditable record of monitoring decisions and follow-up actions.
Many organizations run EPN programs when employee driving affects operations, insurance, or regulatory compliance.
Enrollment scope varies by employer size and industry; define eligible driver classes and retention policies before collecting consent.
