WRC says expired warning cannot be expunged from delivery driver’s record

The WRC found that a delivery driver’s dispute over a verbal warning was moot because the warning had expired. The recommendation was dated 6 April 2023. The officer recommended that the worker and employer move on in the interests of a harmonious working relationship. The worker said the investigation was flawed and challenged the employer’s restricted sales policy. The dispute followed an incident in which he did not ask a 19-year-old customer for photo ID when delivering alcohol. The officer said that because the warning no longer existed, it could not be expunged.
