Applicant's Statement: (Please read carefully before signing)
My signature below certifies that all information I have provided on this application or any attached document is complete, true and correct. I understand that falsification, misrepresentation in any respect, or omission of facts on this application or any attached document may be cause for denial of employment or immediate termination of employment, regardless of when or how discovered. I expressly authorize, without reservation, St. Joseph Public Library (“SJPL”) to contact and obtain information from all references (personal and professional), employers, public agencies, licensing authorities, and educational institutions and to otherwise verify the accuracy of all information provided by me in this application, resume and/or job interview. I hereby waive any and all rights and claims I may have against SJPL relating to seeking, gathering and using such information and all other persons, corporations, or organizations for furnishing such information.
I further understand that this application does not constitute an agreement nor contract for employment for any period or duration. If I am hired, I understand that my employment will be “at-will,” meaning that I will be employed for an indefinite period and free to resign at any time, with or without prior notice, and that SJPL reserves the same right to terminate my employment at any time without cause and without prior notice. I understand that no representative of SJPL is authorized to make any assurances to the contrary and that no implied oral or written agreements contrary to the foregoing express language are valid unless they are in writing and signed by the Director of SJPL. I further understand and agree that, except for my at-will employment status, if hired, my wages, hours, working conditions, job assignment(s), and compensation rate(s) will be subject to change by SJPL.
I further understand that a pre-and/or post-employment drug screen test, a criminal history record check, and/or physical capacity testing may be required as a condition of employment. If I am extended an offer of employment, I understand that it may be conditioned upon my successfully passing a complete pre-employment screening.
