Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.  We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities.  To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability.  Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so.  Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions.  Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.  For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If hired, I understand  that my employment  with the M/E Engineering, P.C. is on an at-will basis,  which means  that my employment  may be terminated  with or without cause  and with or without  notice at any time, at the will of M/E Engineering, P.C. or me. I further understand that no representative or agent of M/E Engineering, P.C., other than the President, has the authority to enter into any agreement, for employment, for any specific period of time or to make an agreement contrary  to the foregoing.  I also understand  that any agreement  modifying  my at-will employment status must  be  in writing  and  signed  by the Manager.  I give M/E Engineering, P.C.  permission  to contact  all  or any  of my  previous employers  and references  and authorize them to disclose any information  M/E Engineering, P.C. may request  in the course  of its investigation of this application  for employment  and I hereby release  M/E Engineering, P.C. and such references  and prior employers  from any and all liability with respect to such disclosures.

After a tentative  offer  of employment  has  been  made,  if requested  by the M/E Engineering, P.C.,  I agree  to take  a job-related medical  examination  at no personal  expense  and authorize  the examining  physician  to disclose  the findings  to the M/E Engineering, P.C.  I understand  that  any  offer  of  employment   is conditioned  upon  receipt  of  satisfactory   references  and satisfactory  completion  of any such job-related  medical  examination.  I also understand that I may be requested now or at any subsequent time during my employment with the M/E Engineering, P.C. to submit  to drug  and/or  alcohol  tests,  at the M/E Engineering, P.C.' s expense.  I understand that if I refuse to take the test, my employment may be terminated immediately. I also  understand   that  if  a  conditional  offer  of  employment  is  made,  the  M/E Engineering, P.C.  performs   criminal  background checks.  A criminal conviction will not necessarily exclude me from consideration.   Rather, each situation will be addressed on an individual basis, consistent with applicable law.

I have  provided  truthful  and  complete  responses  to all inquiries  in the application  and  authorize  the  M/E Engineering, P.C.  to investigate  all statements  contained  in the application.  I understand that the discovery of any falsification or omission constitutes a ground for immediate dismissal or refusal to hire.
