2024 / 2025 YMCA Driver Approval

The YMCA of Central Ohio will authorize employees that are required to use an association-owned vehicle to drive in accordance with this policy. In order to be considered for driving a YMCA vehicle, the employee must complete the following form after receiving their supervisor's approval to drive a YMCA vehicle. The employee will be required through this form to submit to a driving record check, and be considered an acceptable driver, prior to being authorized to operate the vehicle. They will also be required to submit their current proof of personal insurance to drive a vehicle. 

The process is outlined below:

1) The employee who wishes to drive for the YMCA will complete the form below and in it's entirety and submit to the People and Culture Department of the YMCA of Central Ohio.

 *Please note that, at this time, only employees with Ohio driver’s licenses may be considered for this policy.

2) People and Culture staff members will review the employee’s record check, looking back over a two-year period of driving history. If the employee’s Ohio license is valid, and their record check is deemed acceptable, they will be permitted to drive, as needed. Driving records are compared against the Motor Vehicle Classifications Report document, and are categorized as acceptable, borderline,  or unacceptable. Acceptable records indicate permission to drive, as needed. Borderline records will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on severity and need. Unacceptable records will not be able to proceed as a driver for the YMCA of Central Ohio.

3. No employee may drive for the YMCA of Central Ohio until a P&C staff member reaches back out to inform the employee and supervisor of the approval or denial of their application.

Agreement:
The Undersigned hereby authorizes the YMCA of Central Ohio to obtain copies of consumer reports, including a motor vehicle report, pertaining to me for employment purposes, and for use in rating and/or underwriting insurance for which the above¬ named employer may apply, and any renewal thereof. I understand that in obtaining such consumer reports, a consumer reporting agency may be used, and I do hereby authorize such use. I also acknowledge that the YMCA of Central Ohio has provided me with a summary of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act:

 The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every "consumer reporting agency" (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and sell information about you — such as if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy — to creditors, employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find the complete text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, at the Federal Trade Commission’s Web site, www.ftc.gov. The FCRA gives you specific rights as outlined below. You may have additional rights under state law. You may contact a state or local consumer protection agency or a state attorney general to learn those rights.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take action against you, such as denying credit, insurance or employment, must tell you and give you the name, address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the report.
• You can find out what is in your file. At your request, a CRA must give you the information in your file, and a list of everyone who has requested it recently.
• You can dispute inaccurate information with the CRA. If you tell a CRA that your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA must investigate the items (usually within thirty days). If the CRA’s investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a brief statement to your file.
• Inaccurate information must be corrected or deleted. A CRA must remove or correct inaccurate or unverified information from its files, usually within thirty days.
• You can dispute inaccurate items with the source of the information. 
• Outdated information may not be reported. In most cases, a CRA may not report negative information that is more than seven years old; ten years for bankruptcies.
• Access to Your File is Limited. A CRA may provide information about you only to people with a need recognized by the FCRA.
• Your consent is required for reports that are provided to employers.
• You may choose to exclude your name from CRA lists for unsolicited credit and insurance offers. Creditors and insurers may use file information as the basis for sending you unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Such offers must include a toll-free number for you to have your name and address removed from future lists. 
• You may seek damages from violators. If a CRA, a user or (in some cases) a provider of CRA data, violates the FCRA, you may sue them in state or federal court.
