AUTHORIZATION:
I certify that the facts contained in this application (and any accompanying documentation) are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that any false statement, omission, or misrepresentation on this application is sufficient cause for refusal to hire or dismissal if I have been employed regardless of when discovered by the company here in known as Ace Hardware.

I understand that any employment is conditioned on a background check. I authorize Ace Hardware to thoroughly investigate all statements contained within these documents and I authorize my former employee and references to disclose information regarding my former employment, character, and general reputation to the company, without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I release to Ace Hardware any former employers and all references listed above from any and all claims, demands or liabilities arising out of or related to such investigation or disclosure.

I understand and agree that nothing contained in this application or conveyed during this or any subsequent interview, is intended to create an employment contract. I further understand and agree that if I am hired, my employment will be “at will” and without fixed term, and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause and without prior notice, at the option of either Ace Hardware or myself. No promises regarding employment have been made to me and I understand that no such promise or guarantee is binding upon Ace Hardware unless made to me in writing.

If I am offered employment, I agree to submit to a medical examination and drug test before starting work. If employed, I also agree to submit to a medical examination and/or drug test at any time deemed appropriate by Ace Hardware and as permitted by law. I consent to such examinations and tests and I request that the examining doctor disclose to Ace Hardware the results of the examination, which results will remain confidential and segregated from my personnel file. I understand that my employment or continued employment to the extent permitted by law, is contingent upon satisfactory medical examinations and drug test, and if I am hired a condition of my employment will be that I abide by The Company’s Drug and Alcohol Policy.

I understand that filling out this form does not indicate there is a position open and does not obligate Ace Hardware to hire.
