Candidate Application

I agree to conform to the rules and regulations of the Company, and expressly agree and understand that, if employed, my employment is for an unspecified term and is at will. This means that either I or the Company can terminate the employment relationship at will, at any time, with or without cause or prior notice. This at-will aspect of my employment, which includes the right of the Company to demote, transfer or otherwise discipline me at will with or without cause or prior notice, cannot be changed, waived or modified, except by an individualized written agreement to the contrary signed by me and the Company's President. I further understand that the Company reserves the right to require me to submit to a test for the presence of drugs in my system prior to employment and at any time during my employment, to the extent permitted by law. I also understand that I may be required to take other tests such as personality and honesty tests, prior to employment and during my employment. I understand that should I decline to sign this consent or decline to take any of the above tests, my application for employment may be rejected or my employment may be terminated. I certify under penalty of perjury that all of the information contained in this application, any other documents filled out in connection with my employment, and any information provided in any interview, is true, complete and correct, and understand that any misrepresentation, omission or falsification of this application or any information provided by me may result in my disqualification from further consideration for employment or, if hired, dismissal from employment. I authorize the Company to contact my former employers, references, and any and all other persons and organizations for information bearing upon my qualifications for employment. I further authorize the listed employers, schools and personal references to give the Company any and all information about my previous employment and education, along with any other pertinent information they may have. I expressly acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any controversy, claim or dispute between me and the Company (and/or any of its affiliates, divisions, owners, shareholders, directors, partners, members, officers, employees, volunteers or agents) relating to or arising out of my employment or the cessation of that employment will be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator in the county in which I work(ed) for determination in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes as the exclusive remedy for such controversy, claim or dispute. In any such arbitration, the parties may conduct discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision stating the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, and shall have full authority to award all remedies that would be available in court. The Company shall pay all arbitrator's fees and any arbitration administrative expenses, to the extent required by law. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This bi-lateral arbitration agreement covers, but is not limited to, claims of unpaid wages, breach of contract, torts, violation of public policy, discrimination, harassment, or any other employment-related claims under laws including but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, and any other statutes or laws relating to an employee's relationship with his/her employer, regardless of whether such dispute is initiated by the employee or the Company. This Agreement also covers any and all claims that the Company may have against me, including (but not limited to) claims for misappropriation of Company property, disclosure of proprietary information or trade secrets, interference with contract, trade libel, gross negligence, or any other claim for alleged wrongful conduct or breach of the duty of loyalty. Nevertheless, claims for workers' compensation benefits and unemployment insurance, those arising under the National Labor Relations Act, and any other claims where mandatory arbitration is prohibited by law, are not covered by this arbitration agreement, and such claims may be presented by either the Company or me to the appropriate court or government agency. BY AGREEING TO THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, BOTH I AND THE COMPANY GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. This bi-lateral arbitration agreement is to be construed as broadly as is permissible under applicable law. If represented by the Company, I will not solicit nor accept employment with any of the Company's clients to whom I am referred without the express permission of the Company. This application will be considered current for a period of 180 days after it is filed. If I wish to be considered for employment after that period, I understand I must renew my application in person and in writing.
