Important: Applicant's Certification
I certify that all information in this application and all other information which I have provided in order to apply for and to secure work with Catholic Charities is true, complete and correct.
I expressly authorize, without reservation, the agency, its representatives, employees and agents to contact and obtain information from all references (personal and professional), employers, public agencies, licensing authorities and educational institutions and to otherwise verify the accuracy of all information provided by me in this application, resume or job interview. I hereby waive any and all rights and claims I may have regarding the agency, its agents, employees or representatives, for seeking, gathering and using truthful and non defamatory information, in a lawful manner, in the employment process and all other persons, corporations or organizations for furnishing such information about me.
I understand that this agency does not unlawfully discriminate in employment and no question on this application is used for the purpose of limiting or eliminating any applicant from consideration for employment on any basis prohibited by applicable local, state or federal law. I understand that this application remains current for only 60 days. At the conclusion of that time, if I have not heard from the agency and still wish to be considered for employment, it will be necessary for me to reapply and fill out a new application.
If I am hired, I understand that I am free to resign at any time, with or without cause and with or without prior notice, and the agency reserves the same right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause and with or without prior notice, except as may be required by law. This application does not constitute an agreement or contract for employment for any specified period or definite duration. I understand that no supervisor or representative of the agency is authorized to make any assurance to the contrary and that no implied oral or written agreements contrary to the foregoing express language are valid unless they are in writing and signed by the agency's director.
I also understand that if I am hired, I will be required to provide proof of identity and legal authorization to work in the United States and that federal immigration laws require me to complete an 1-9 Form in this regard.
I understand that any information provided by me that is found to be false, incomplete or misrepresented in any respect will be sufficient cause to (i) eliminate me from further consideration for employment, or (ii) may result in my immediate discharge from the agency's service, whenever it is discovered.
I promise to abide by the "Child and Youth Protection Policy" and other policies and procedures of Catholic Charities.
I acknowledge that I will be required to undergo a criminal background check and "Child and Youth Protection" training. I also acknowledge that I will be required to furnish proof of identity in association with the criminal background check and employment eligibility.
If applicable, per New York State Office of Mental Health and New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Development Disabilities, I understand that I will be required to submit to a Criminal History Records Check (fingerprint process) performed by the FBI as well as New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services; this check will be used to determine my eligibility for employment upon an ongoing review of my criminal history.
