Referance letter

One of my employee's got a HTA 172 charge and his lawyer is asking him to get a character reference letter from work. I told him I would do a letter for him but I have no idea what this letter should contain.

Any thoughts?

that's nice of you.

I'd go with some 'google' results for a basic idea;

Just ask him to write what he (his lawyer?) wants/needs and then decide if you're willing to sign it.

Not sure I'd want to approach it from that angle. If the employer gets sucked into court somehow and then ends up under oath and is asked by the crown "Did you write that, are those your own words?" in one fashion or another, well, the only truthful answer at that point is "My employees lawyer wrote it for me and I just signed it".

Awkward.

If his lawyer was worth 2cents he would have provided him with a form letter to give his employer. all the employer needs to do is put the letter into his own words

I’ve dealt with lawyers before and never had one effectively try to put words in mine or anyone else’s mouth, which is what that would more or less be doing.

They can advise you on what a letter should contain, maybe even provide a checklist of important facts or bits to include, but basically providing an existing letter to effectively plagiarize wouldn’t be good practice I’d have to think.
 
Has been a stellar employee with the company for X years and requires to be at work due to XYZ responsibilities that are currently only undertaken by said employee.

One time event, error / lapse in judgment.

Gloats about running from cops regularly (wait wrong letter).

Or the truth.
"Your honour I'm very busy. The employees showed me a draft, nothing was out of line and I signed it."
 
I’d write HT172 violates all reasonable democratic process and the right to a fair hearing or trial before conviction. Not being tried on the side of the road by some guy that didn’t get blown in the last 3 months and already has a God complex .

Within reason however, one needs to remember that driving is not a right, it is a privilege.

A lot of people on the road have become entitled and forgotten that.
