Authorized Person
List the full legal name and relationship of each person permitted to pick up or drop off the employee, plus the ID type and number used for verification at handoff; mismatches should be flagged.
A standard form reduces ambiguity about who may transport an employee, documents consent, helps enforce safety and insurance checks, and creates an auditable record for HR and risk teams.
Human resources or facilities teams usually issue and maintain the form; individual employees complete their personal sections and sign authorization.
Supervisors, transportation coordinators, and safety officers reference the form when scheduling rides, verifying drivers, or responding to incidents.
List the full legal name and relationship of each person permitted to pick up or drop off the employee, plus the ID type and number used for verification at handoff; mismatches should be flagged.
Provide explicit pickup and drop-off locations and times, including recurrence (days of week) and effective start/end dates so transportation staff can plan routes and avoid missed pickups.
Record vehicle make, model, license plate, and driver name; include carrier or employer vehicle ID when applicable so security can confirm identity before release.
Include at least two emergency contacts with phone numbers and relationship to the employee so responders can contact next of kin if an incident occurs during transport.
A short waiver or acknowledgment that explains responsibility for transport, insurance verification procedures, and consent to release the employee to named designees; plain-language clarity reduces disputes.
Provide a signer block for the employee (or authorized representative) and a witness or HR approver; include date and a space for electronic signature metadata when using eSign.
