APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: I understand that T&Z Hardware Inc. d/b/a Ontario Ace Hardware (“Company”) is committed to providing equal opportunity in all employment practices, including but not limited to selection, hiring, promotion, transfer, and compensation to all qualified applicants and employees without regard to age; race; color; national origin; sex; sexual orientation; gender identity; pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition; religion; physical or mental disability; genetic information; citizenship status; military status; marital or family member status; or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law.
I authorize former and present employers, and professional, work, and personal references listed in this employment application (“Application”) or interview process and any other individuals I may name, to give the Company or its designee any and all information concerning my previous employment and any pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise, and release such parties from all liability for any damages that may result from furnishing same to the Company. I also authorize the Company to provide truthful information concerning my employment (if any) with it to future employers or as may be required, and I agree to hold it harmless for providing such information.
I understand that the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, require drug and alcohol screening tests of an applicant or an employee either prior to employment or any time during employment and I hereby give my consent to any such tests. I consent to the release of the results of any such tests to the Company or its designees. I release the Company and its designees from any and all liability and damages that may result or arise from any drug test or the provision of information in connection with such test. Testing, if any, will only occur in accordance with applicable law.
I understand that this Application and any other Company documents are not promises of employment. Should I be employed, I understand that my employment will be on a trial period initially and that I will remain an at-will employee thereafter. I further understand that, if I am employed, I can terminate my employment at any time with or without cause and with or without advance notice and that the Company has a similar right. I understand that no manager, representative, or agent of the Company has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing, except that the Owner may do so in writing. In the event of my employment with the Company, I will comply with all lawful rules and policies of the Company.
I certify that the information given by me on this Application and during the interview process is and will be true and complete in all respects, and I agree that if the information is found to be false, misleading, or unsatisfactory in any respect (in the Company’s judgment) that I will be disqualified from consideration for employment or subject to immediate termination if discovered after I am hired.
I certify that I have received a separate written notification that the Company may obtain “consumer reports” (for example, criminal history, driving records, etc.) on me for use in connection with my Application and, if I am hired, my employment, unless otherwise prohibited by law. To the extent lawful, I authorize the Company to obtain such reports.
This Application will be considered “active” for a maximum of thirty (30) days. If you wish to be considered for employment after that time, you must reapply.
DO NOT SIGN UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE STATEMENTS.
