Question for British Columbians:
Is it legal for jobs to ask if I have a driver's licence if driving is not a job requirement?
I've only ever noticed this when job hunting in BC. In NS and Ontario, they never asked unless the job was related to driving. Like I feel like it's a roundabout way of them wanting you to have reliable transportation, yet I've come across a few job postings requiring a driver's licence (I don't drive) despite the job description not requiring me to drive or commute in any way?
And I'm very hesitant to apply to these jobs because of this. There are a couple like "Playground Monitor" that want me to have a valid licence, yet no part of the job description describes me driving the kids at all. Like this is not a "schoolbus driver" or "delivery driver" posting. And as someone looking to go to teacher's college I would really like to work somewhere childcare adjacent while applying to/attending teacher's college.
Maybe Reddit is a better place for me to ask this...
