May’s Lawn Care Employment Application (VA Compliant) — Rev 10/2026

May’s Lawn Care, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer

May’s Lawn Care, LLC does not discriminate in hiring or employment on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions (including lactation), age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, military or veteran status, genetic information, or any other status protected by federal, Virginia, or local law. Applicants who need a reasonable accommodation to complete this application or to participate in the hiring process may ask the office for assistance.

If you are under 18, you may still apply. Federal and Virginia child labor laws limit the hours minors may work and prohibit minors from operating certain equipment (for example, power-driven mowers, trimmers, and earthmoving equipment for workers under 16, and hazardous equipment for workers under 18). If hired, you may need to provide proof of age or other documentation required by law.

Do not include your current or past pay. Under Virginia law (Va. Code § 40.1-28.7:12), we do not ask for, and will not rely on, your wage or salary history. You will not be refused an interview or a job, or otherwise retaliated against, for declining to share your pay history or for asking about the pay range.

If hired, you will be required to complete federal Form I-9 and provide documents verifying identity and work authorization.

If you have questions about the essential functions of the position, please ask before answering. You are not required to disclose a disability or medical condition on this application.

You need not disclose membership in any organization that would reveal your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, military status, or any other protected characteristic.

NOTICE TO VIRGINIA APPLICANTS (Va. Code § 19.2-392.15)

You do not have to disclose, and should not include, information concerning any arrest, charge, or conviction that has been sealed or expunged under Virginia law. This includes marijuana possession records, which are sealed under Virginia law. You also do not need to list arrests or charges that did not lead to a conviction, or traffic infractions. Answering “NO” because a record has been sealed or expunged is a truthful answer and will not be treated as a falsification or omission.

A conviction does not automatically disqualify you. We consider the nature and seriousness of the offense, how long ago it occurred, and whether it relates to the duties of the position. You may attach any information you would like us to consider, such as evidence of rehabilitation.

1. Accuracy. The information I have provided in this application is accurate, complete, and truthful. I understand that any material falsification or omission may be cause for rejection of this application or, if I am hired, termination of employment whenever it is discovered. I understand I am not required to disclose sealed or expunged criminal records, my pay history, or information about a disability, and that doing so is not an omission.

2. Essential functions and accommodation. I understand that any job offer, and my continued employment if hired, is contingent on my being able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation. It is the policy of May’s Lawn Care, LLC not to refuse to hire or otherwise discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability, or a person affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, because of that person’s need for a reasonable accommodation.

3. Drug testing. I understand that any offer of employment may be contingent on my passing a drug test conducted under the Company’s written drug-free workplace policy, and that drug tests are not used to identify disabilities. I understand that Virginia law (Va. Code § 40.1-27.4) protects an employee’s lawful use of cannabis oil under a valid written certification from a practitioner, but does not protect impairment at work or possession during work hours. Applicants may provide such a certification confidentially to the office.

4. Work authorization. If hired, I will complete federal Form I-9 and present acceptable documents showing identity and authorization to work no later than my third business day of employment. I understand that failure to do so may result in termination of employment as permitted by federal law.

5. At-will employment. I understand that this application is not a contract of employment and that, if hired, my employment will be for no specified length of time. Either I or May’s Lawn Care, LLC may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, so long as it does not violate federal, state, or local law. No one other than the owner may make any agreement to the contrary, and only in a signed writing.

6. Policies and reporting. If hired, I agree to follow May’s Lawn Care, LLC policies and applicable law, and to report suspected violations of Company policy or law. As of the date I sign below, I am not aware of any such violation.

7. Company property. If hired, I understand that handbooks, manuals, devices, tools, uniforms, safety equipment, and other materials provided or loaned to me remain the property of May’s Lawn Care, LLC and must be returned on my last day of employment (or within three business days if separation occurs before I begin work). I understand I may be responsible for the reasonable replacement cost of property I do not return. No amount will be deducted from my wages unless I give separate, specific written authorization as required by Virginia law (Va. Code § 40.1-29), and no deduction will reduce my pay below the minimum wage. Company documents and materials are confidential and proprietary.

8. Authorization to verify information. I authorize May’s Lawn Care, LLC to contact my previous employers (except any I have marked “No” above), schools, and references to verify the information in this application and any resume I submit, and I authorize them to provide that information. I understand that May’s Lawn Care, LLC will not request my pay history from any former employer or other source. To the extent permitted by law, I release May’s Lawn Care, LLC, its agents, and the employers, schools, and references I have listed from liability for providing or receiving accurate, good-faith information about my background.

9. Background checks. I understand that any criminal background check or motor vehicle record check obtained through a consumer reporting agency or the Virginia State Police will be requested only after I receive a separate written disclosure and sign a separate authorization, as required by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and Virginia law. Sealed or expunged records will not be requested or considered.

This application will be kept active for 90 days. Consideration for employment after 90 days requires a new application.
