Any Miami university employee who
				drives a university-owned or university-leased motor vehicle is required to
				have a valid state of Ohio or other state of residence driver's license.
				Departments may implement programs to verify on a regular basis employees'
				possession of a valid driver's license. A current employee who, as a condition
				of employment, must possess a valid driver's license to perform his or her
				regularly assigned work duties is required to notify his or her supervisor
				immediately upon receipt of any notification that his or her driver's license
				has been suspended, revoked, or has in any way been modified or subjected to
				restrictions not previously known to the supervisor. The supervisor must report
				this information to the employee's personnel office (department of human
				resources or academic personnel services).
If a current employee's driver's
				license is suspended or revoked, expires, or is subject to modification or
				restriction which prevents the employee from performing any part of his/her
				regularly assigned work duties, that employee will not be permitted to operate
				a university motor vehicle on any public roadway until the license is fully
				reinstated, renewed, or additionally modified.
Until the employee's driving privileges
				are restored, the employee's department may reassign, when practicable, the
				employee to a job not requiring the operation of a university vehicle. In cases
				where reassignment is not practicable, the employee may be placed on a leave of
				absence or terminated.
Before the employee may resume
				operating a university motor vehicle, the employee must present the supervisor
				with a properly issued renewal license or with written confirmation from the
				state of Ohio or state of residence verifying license reinstatement or
				conferring privileges to drive while at work. The supervisor must report this
				information to the employee's personnel office (department of human resources
				or academic personnel services).
Failure to comply with this policy may
				result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of
				employment.

Fulltime administrative staff are entitled to the following
				paid holidays: New Year's day, Martin Luther King day, Presidents' day,
				Memorial day, Juneteenth, Independence day, Labor
				day, Columbus day, Veterans' day, Thanksgiving day, and Christmas day.
