There is no statutory entitlement to paid time off for the five-yearly medical tests. Neither is the employer obliged to pay the costs associated with any testing. Reps should try to negotiate either reasonable paid time off, or access to an on-site occupational health provider, where available, during working hours, to avoid drivers having to use their annual leave to attend. Details of the minimum eyesight standards for driving and the health requirements for drivers with epilepsy applying to drivers of cars and motorcycles (Group 1) and lorries and buses (Group 2) can be found on the DfT website.
