AUTHORIZATION AND UNDERSTANDING:
Upon the signing of this application, I represent that all of the information now or hereafter given by me in support of my application is true and complete. I authorize you to verify any of the information concerning my employment, education, criminal history, medical history (post-offer only), or credit history with the appropriate individuals, companies, institutions or agencies, and I authorize them to release such information as you require including my prior disciplinary employment record, without any obligation to give me written notice of such disclosure. I also authorize you to release any information requested by any of my prospective or subsequent employers without any obligation to give me written notice of such disclosure. I hereby release you and them from any liability whatsoever as a result of any such inquiries and disclosures. I agree that any false information in support of my application may subject me to discharge at any time during the period of my employment. I understand, acknowledge, and agree that all information acquired as part of the application process is strictly the property of the City of Alpena and will not be provided to any applicant.
I agree that either party may terminate the employment relationship, with or without cause, at any time, and I further agree that this arrangement may only be altered in writing directed to me personally, and signed by the City Manager of Alpena. I agree that I shall be bound by the other rules, policies, regulations, and terms and conditions of employment of the City as they are from time to time changed, and no additional obligations can be imposed on the City except those which have been acknowledged in writing by the City Manager or his designated representatives. I hereby authorize the City to deduct from each and every period of my pay any amounts necessary to offset any damages caused by me or the value of property or money entrusted to me by, or owed by me to, the City during the course of my employment.
I agree that any action or suit against the City, its agents or its employees, arising out of my employment or termination of employment, including, but not limited to, claims arising under State or Federal civil rights statutes, must be brought within 180 days of the event giving rise to the claims or be forever barred. I waive any limitation periods to the contrary. I further agree that if I should bring any non-statutory action or claim arising out of my employment against the City, in which the City prevails, I will pay to the City any and all such costs incurred by the City in defense of said claims or actions, including attorney fees. I further agree that my employment is conditional until such time as the results of my post-offer physical (if the such physical is required) are known.
