Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.  To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability.  Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out.  If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

Schneggenburger at cjschnegg@meengineering.com.

Applicant's Statement:

I  understand   and  agree  that  nothing  in  this  application   shall  constitute   an  offer,  a  contract  or  a  guarantee   of employment for a specific period of time. 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. If employed, I will abide by the M/E Engineering, P.C.'s rules and regulations, which I understand are subject to change by the M/E Engineering, P.C.
