APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & AUTHORIZATION
I hereby certify that the answers to the foregoing are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand
that the TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH (“the TOWN”) will attempt to verify statements made on my
application.
I understand that the TOWN requires certain information about me to evaluate my qualifications for
employment and to conduct its business if I become an employee. I understand that false, incomplete or
misleading statements or omissions on this application or any other pre- or post-employment form, or in any
interview or other oral communication, may be considered sufficient cause for dismissal, if and when discovered.
The use of this application does not indicate there are positions open and does not in any way obligate the TOWN.
I authorize personal references, as well as professional references, other persons, companies, corporations,
schools, and law enforcement agencies identified in this application to furnish to the TOWN and/or its
representatives any information they have concerning me.
I understand that I may be required to submit to drug testing now or at any time in the future and I agree to such
testing. Moreover, I understand that my failure or refusal to undergo such testing will result in the withdrawal of
my employment application.
I will be able, if hired, to certify that I am authorized to work in the United States of America. The
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires that, upon hiring, employers verify the authorization to
work and identity of all new employees. An offer of employment is contingent upon the TOWN’s ability to verify
this necessary information.
I understand that if I am hired, confidential information regarding the TOWN, and/or its customers and
employees may be available to me and that this information must not be disseminated or used except for the
TOWN’s benefit. If employed, I agree to keep all information about the TOWN, including such information
regarding its business methods, protocols, customers and employees, confidential and shall not disclose this
information to any unauthorized personnel whether within or without the TOWN.
I understand that this application or subsequent employment does not create a contract of employment nor
does it guarantee employment for any definite period of time. Should I be hired, I understand that my employment
is at-will and my employment may be terminated at any time with or without cause, and with or without notice.

understand if my application for employment is granted, the Town may obtain further information
through subsequent investigations by a consumer reporting agency so as to update, renew or extend my

a consumer reporting agency’s investigation may include obtaining information covering
up to the last seven (7) years regarding my credit background, references, character, past employment,
work habits, education, general reputation, personal characteristics, mode of living, judgment, liens,
and criminal background.
I
understand such information may be obtained by direct or indirect contact with former employers,
schools, financial institutions, landlords and public agencies or other persons who may have such
knowledge.
I also understand that before I am denied employment based, in whole or part, on information obtained
in the report, I will be provided a copy of the report and a description in writing of my rights under the
Fair Credit Reporting Act.
I understand if
I disagree with the accuracy of any information in the report, I must notify the Town
within two days of my receipt of the report. If I notify the Town within two days of the receipt of the
report that I am challenging information in the report, the Town, will not make a final decision on my
employment status until after I have had a reasonable opportunity to address the information contained
in the report.
I hereby consent to this investigation and authorize the Town to procure a report on my background as
stated above from a consumer reporting agency.
