Application Acknowledgement

Verification:

I hereby authorize the potential employer to contact, obtain, and verify the accuracy of the information contained in this application from all previous employers, educational institutions, and references.  I also hereby release from liability the potential employer and its representatives for seeking, gathering, and using such information to make employment decisions, and all other persons or organizations for providing such information.

I understand that any incomplete, misrepresentation, or material omission made by me on this application will be sufficient cause for cancellation of this application or immediate termination of employment, whenever it may be discovered.

As a condition of employment, I hereby voluntarily give my consent to this company and its designated agents to do urinalysis and/or blood testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances. Such testing may occur as a precondition to my being employed; random testing; or anytime during my employment with this company when there is reasonable cause to believe that violations of the Drug and Alcohol policy exist. A pre-employment physical will also be conducted.  I understand that any positive drug or alcohol results, refusal to submit to such testing, or an unfavorable examination report will result in a forfeiture of an employment offer and if employed, will lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

Depending on the scope of the position in which I am being considered, a post-offer pre-employment third-party background check may be required. A background check will not be conducted without being given the proper disclosure documentation and obtaining my written consent.

I understand and acknowledge that if I am employed, a motor vehicle report (MVR) is required to be conducted to determine eligibility to drive any company vehicle. I authorize Dakota Mill & Grain, Inc. (DMG) and DMG's insurance carrier to pull and review my MVR and/or related driving information now, and for as long as I am employed, to determine eligibility. If driving a company vehicle or commercial vehicle is a requirement of my position, any offer of employment is contingent on the final approval of the MVR by DMG and DMG's insurance carrier.

I also understand that if I am employed, I will be required to provide satisfactory proof of identity and legal work authorization within three days of being hired.  Failure to submit such proof within the required time shall result in immediate termination of employment.

If I am employed, I acknowledge that there is no specified length of employment and that this application does not constitute an agreement or contract for employment.  Accordingly, either I or the employer can terminate the relationship at will, with or without cause, and for any reason or no reason, at any time, so long as there is no violation of applicable federal or state law.

I have read and fully filled out the employment application and I seek employment under these conditions.
