Release and Authorization for Background

and Reference Investigation

As part of its employment screening and selection procedures, the Employer or potential employer, named below, requires a background investigation and a check of references. Such investigation and checks may require the submission to the Employer of information about the applicant’s social security number (SSN), date of birth (DOB) and driver’s license number (DL).

, hereby give the Employer and/or its designees permission and authority to conduct a background investigation and reference checks concerning my past and current activities. I agree and consent to any investigation the Employer and/or its designees may make including, but not limited to, information as to my personal character, general reputation, former employment, education, credit history, driving record, social security wage information, criminal history and other information contained in public records or obtainable from former employers or other references, business or personal. It is also agreed and understood that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (Public Law 91-508) I have been told that this investigation may take place.

I hereby consent, authorize and request any former employers, personal references, schools, police and court personnel, credit agencies and any other person to respond to verbal or written inquiries from Employer and/or its designees and to disclose information concerning:

1. My previous employment record, including but not limited to positions held, dates of employment, last pay rate, work performance, disciplinary records, reliability and any incidents of dishonesty, insubordination, violence, and/or unsafe, harmful or threatening behavior, or other relevant information, including information based upon information in my personnel files;

2. My educational records from any and all public or private educational institutions that I have attended including all records of my academic performance, courses attended, grades earned, diplomas, degrees, other certificates conferred, or other relevant information;

3. My general background and I specifically request, authorize and consent to Employer’s verbal or written inquiries of personal references about the information contained in my application, as well as my reliability, honesty and potential tendency, if any, to engage in any form of violence, and/or unsafe, harmful or threatening behavior, or other relevant information.

4. My professional or vocational license or certification that I may have held in the past or may currently hold, including, but not limited to, information concerning whether such license or certification is in good standing and any disciplinary or other proceedings concerning such license or certification, or other relevant information;

5. Whether I have a record of criminal convictions, and, if so, the nature of such criminal convictions and all surrounding circumstances available through lawful means. Employer has advised me that its criminal background check will focus on convictions and that a criminal record will not necessarily disqualify me from employment;

6. My credit history and I understand that the results of a background check of my credit records will be used as part of the evaluation of my application and that both verbal and written reports will be obtained from the reporting service. I also understand that I may receive such information by making a written request to the credit-reporting agency. To receive any of this information or access to my records, I realize that I must submit proper identification with my request. (Employer will not deny employment solely on the basis that an applicant has filed bankruptcy.)

I hereby release all persons, companies, corporations or individuals from all liability and responsibility that may result from providing Employer and/or its designees the information set out herein, including but not limited to, any claims whatsoever for defamation, fraud, misrepresentations, intentional or negligent interference with prospective business relations or contract, breach of contract (including any settlement agreement), negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, employment discrimination, violation of public policy, and any other potential claims, demands, damages, liabilities and/or actions of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown to me presently or in the future. I have voluntarily explained any concerns about the information that may be provided to Employer during this process in writing on the attached document entitled “Voluntary Employee Information Regarding Background and Reference Investigation.”

I am aware that the result of any background investigation performed by Employer and/or its designees is not the sole criteria used by the Employer in making a decision to hire or not hire any individual, including me. I am also aware that any falsification or misrepresentation of information appearing on my application for employment shall be grounds for my not being hired or for my being terminated.
