Guidance on Repercussions of an Employer Not Meeting the Required Timeframe for Reporting a Violation to the Clearinghouse

FAQ 4:

What are the repercussions if an employer does not meet the required timeframe for reporting a violation?

Guidance: 

The employer may still report the drug and alcohol program violation even if the required timeframe has passed. However, the Clearinghouse captures the date the violation was reported. This information may be reviewed during an investigation of the employer’s operations and compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. See 49 CFR 382.705(b).
