7. Motoring Offences and Parking Fines

7.1 The employee must advise the University, immediately and in writing, of any endorsements on their driving license or of any suspension or revocation of their driving licence. The University reserves the right to periodically check for offences and other licence related information directly from DVLA, without obtaining consent from the driver.

7.2 The employee is responsible for paying all driving and parking related fines including congestion charges. Where ALD Automotive has met these fines and seeks to recover the additional cost and any administrative charges levied by ALD Automotive from the University, the University will recover the full amount (including any administrative charges levied by ALD Automotive) from the employee. By participating in this scheme, the employee is agreeing that the University can recover all additional charges levied by ALD Automotive in respect of the lease of the vehicle from their monthly salary payments. (Such salary deductions will not be subject to Salary Exchange; that is they will be made after the application of statutory deductions.) Otherwise the employee will be required to pay any additional costs levied by ALD Automotive in full on demand from the University and those costs will be recoverable as a debt.

7.3 For certain traffic offences, ALD Automotive will advise the enforcement authorities that the employee is the authorised driver and it will be the employee’s responsibility to pay or contest any fine. ALD Automotive may charge an admin fee for this service.
