I authorize former and present employers, and professional, work, and personal references listed in the application or interview process and any other individuals I may name, to give the Cooperative or its designee any and all information concerning my previous employment and any pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise, and release such parties from all liability for any damages that may result from furnishing same to the Cooperative. I also authorize the Cooperative to provide truthful information concerning my employment (if any) with it to future employers or as may be required, and I agree to hold it harmless for providing such information.

I understand that the Cooperative reserves the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to require drug and alcohol screening tests of an applicant or an employee either prior to employment or any time during employment and I hereby give my consent to any such tests. I consent to the release of the results of any such tests to the Cooperative or its designees. I release the Cooperative and its designees from any and all liability and damages that may result or arise from any drug test or the provision of information in connection with such a test. Testing, if any, will only occur in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

I understand that no manager, representative, or agent of the Cooperative has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing, except that the General Manager may do so in writing. In the event of my employment with this
Cooperative, I will comply with all rules and regulations of the Cooperative.

I certify that the information given by me on this application and during the interview process is and will be true and complete in all respects, and I agree that if the information is found to be false, misleading, or unsatisfactory in any respect (in the Cooperative’s judgment) that I will be disqualified from consideration for employment or subject to immediate termination if discovered after I am hired.

I certify that I have received a separate written notification that the Cooperative may obtain “consumer reports” (for example, criminal history, driving records, etc.) on me for use in connection with my application and, if I am hired, my employment.
