Applicant's Certification & Acknowledgement

Select...

I certify that all of the information I have provided in this application is true and complete, without omissions of any kind. I understand and agree that if at any time, it is discovered that any information provided by me in this application is false, misleading or incomplete, this application will be void, and WellPower, may, in its sole discretion and without liability to me immediately terminate my employment.

I authorize all employers, educational institutions and persons named in this application to give any information regarding my previous employment, my character, and my qualifications to WellPower or its authorized representatives. I hereby release these employers, educational institutions and persons from all liability to me for providing this information.

I understand and agree that this application is not a contract nor an offer by WellPower to form a contract. I acknowledge and agree if hired, my employment with WellPower will be “at will,” meaning that either I or WellPower may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, and with WellPower’s only obligation to me being to pay salary or wages owed for work performed prior to termination.

Except as stated in the following paragraph, I understand and agree that no manager or employee of WellPower has authority to enter into any agreement for employment for a definite period of time or to make any agreement with me that would alter the employment “at will” relationship. Therefore, I agree that it would be unreasonable for me to believe that any statements from WellPower, whether oral or written (including any policies or procedures that I may be provided), create a contract between WellPower and me or alter the employment at-will relationship.

I understand and agree that if hired, my status as an at-will employee could be changed only if (1) enter into a written agreement with WellPower entitled “(Contract of Employment for (my name)” and signed by WellPower’s Chief Executive Officer, Human Resources Director and me; or (2) I become a member of the Collective Bargaining Unit under the Collective Bargaining Agreement between WellPower and Service Employees International Union, Local 105 AFL-CIO, and the employment at-will relationship is altered by that Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
