AGREEMENTS BY MY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE, I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING AGREEMENTS
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE CERTIFICATION STATEMENT
Please provide any additional information regarding your accomplishments, career goals, experience, volunteer work, special skills, or education, that, you think would be helpful to us in evaluating your application. I hereby authorize the company, Inc to fully investigate my record and work qualifications either before or during my employment, and to facilitate investigation, I also hereby authorize any persons having knowledge thereof to give such information to the company, upon request.
I certify that all statements made by me on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief, and agree that any misrepresentation, falsification or omission of facts thereon shall be sufficient cause to deny my employment or if employed to justify my dismissal.
The company is an equal opportunity employer and does not because of race, creed, color, sex, marital status, age, national origin, handicap, veteran status, or sexual preference.
I understand that the company conducts a full background investigation on all employees, including but not limited to National Sex Offender List, Office of the Inspector General, Criminal background, and credit history.
I understand that any offer of employment is conditional on my ability to establish eligibility under the Immigration Reform and Control act of 1986. A conflict of interest may take overt or covert forms and can represent many situations. However, it is generally understood that a conflict of interest constitutes a situation when the company as a whole or individual representatives of the company, has competing professional or personal obligations or personal or financial interests that would make it difficult for the company or the individual(s) to fairly fulfill the mission, vision and values of the institution. In general, conflicts of interest relate to the potential for self-gain usually, but not always, of a fiscal nature. Potential for self-gain can serve to undermine the judgment or objectivity of licensed independent practitioners, administrators, employees, consultants and designated contractors such that their mission and dedication to the values and activities of the company are compromised. Therefore it is required that any contractual arrangement, partnership, agreement or fiduciary relationship (including employment) entered into by the company and any other party that will affect the mission, vision or values of the company, must respect and abide by the policies, procedures and directives of the company.
Disclosures may include, but are not limited to, relationships, associations or business dealings with vendors, suppliers, organizations or individuals with whom the company may have a contractual relationship.
