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.

Self-ID Questions

We recognize that people’s identities are complex. The Equal Opportunity Employment Office options do not usually capture how people identify.  To work toward a better solution, we are providing these Self-ID options in the Voluntary Demographics section below. You may choose: "I prefer not to answer" any or all of the self-ID questions. 

At WellPower we embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, & belonging and your self-ID will only be used for operational purposes, in aggregate form and has no impact on your application. 

We know that these lists are still incomplete and we encourage you to use the self-describe boxes if you want to identify in a way that is not represented on these lists.
