EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION DISCLAIMER

UNITED COMPANIES DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE IN HIRING OF TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT ON THE BASIS OF RACE COLOR, CREED, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, OR ANY OTHER BASIS UPON WHICH DISCRIMINATION IS PROHIBITED BY THE MUNICIPAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL LAW.  NO QUESTION ON THIS APPLICATION IS INTENDED TO SECURE INFORMATION TO BE USED FOR SUCH DISCRIMINATION.

The filing of an application with United Companies is a preliminary step to employment.  It does not obligate United Companies to offer employment, or the applicant to accept employment.  An offer of employment, if made, is for employment at will and is not to be construed as a guarantee of continued employment.  The first 90 days of employment is considered an introductory (“probationary”) period during which an employee may resign or be released without a stated reason and without regard to any progressive disciplinary steps.  However, United Companies reserves the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.  Any employee also has the right to terminate his or her employment with United Companies at any time.

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS AS REQUIRED BY THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT.
As part of employment process, an investigative consumer report may be prepared regarding an applicant’s character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living.  Additional information as to the nature and scope of such as report, if made, will be provided upon the applicant’s written request.

I authorize investigation of all matters contained in this application which United Companies may deem relevant to my employment and authorize my previous employers or other persons having information concerning me or my record to report such information to United Companies and such persons are hereby released from all liability for issuing such information.  United Companies will keep all such information confidential except where such information is required to be released by law or order of a court or other authority.  I understand and agree that I will be subject to immediate dismissal if it is subsequently discovered that the information contained herein is untrue or that I have failed to disclose a material fact.  I understand that if employed by United Companies, such employment will occur at will and no contract of employment, express or implied is created and that no representative of United Companies has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment of any specific period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing.  I understand that if I receive an offer of employment and I accept the position, I will be required to complete additional information necessary for company record keeping requirements.
