What happens if an employee opts out of relief driving?

The correct choice indicates that an employee who opts out of relief driving is required to provide documentation supporting their decision. This requirement ensures that there is a clear and legitimate reason for not participating in relief driving. Documentation might include medical or personal circumstances that justify the opt-out decision, which helps maintain accountability and safety within the department. This process ensures that all employees are fit for the duties they are assigned and supports a culture of transparency and responsibility.

In contrast, the other options suggest actions that do not align with the established protocol for opting out. Being outright banned from driving does not take into account personal circumstances that may warrant the opt-out; similarly, being assigned to non-driving positions or being allowed to drive during emergencies may not be in accordance with the procedures designed to protect individuals and ensure the safety of the community. Opting out with appropriate documentation ensures that both the employee’s needs and the operational requirements of the fire department are respected.
