Employee Authorizations & Acknowledgments
Acknowledgment of PEO Relationship: I acknowledge, and I have been notified, that my worksite employer (“Employer”)
has entered into a Client Services Agreement with CoAdvantage or an affiliated company (“CoAdvantage”), whereby
CoAdvantage has agreed to provide certain specifically identified employment-related services for my Employer and me.
CoAdvantage is a licensed professional employer organization (“PEO”). I understand that my Employer will still manage, direct
and control my day-to-day activities, and that I remain, unless I have an express employment agreement with my Employer to
the contrary, an at-will employee of the Employer. As an at-will employee, I acknowledge that my employment is terminable
by either my Employer or by me at any time, without prior notice, and for any reason. In the event I have an employment
agreement with my Employer, I acknowledge that such agreement is solely with my Employer and is not enforceable against
CoAdvantage.
Acknowledgment/Disclaimer of Employment Status: I understand I will not be considered a co-employee of
CoAdvantage for any purpose until a completed new employee packet and required paperwork is fully completed and
received by CoAdvantage.
Wages: I acknowledge that my Employer is responsible for paying my wages. In the event that my Employer fails to pay
CoAdvantage fully under the terms of the Client Services Agreement, and as a result, does not transmit sufficient funds
necessary to pay my wages, I agree to accept from CoAdvantage an amount equal to the number of hours that I have
worked that remains uncompensated (including overtime) multiplied by the federal or state hourly minimum wage, whichever
is applicable, as full recourse of amounts I may claim from CoAdvantage. I acknowledge that CoAdvantage has no obligation
to make any such payments unless required by applicable state law. I understand that my Employer remains ultimately
obligated to me for unpaid wages and I agree to seek such unpaid wages or other amounts due directly from the Employer. In
the event that my Employer files a petition in bankruptcy at a time when monies are due to CoAdvantage from my Employer
for wages paid to me, I hereby assign CoAdvantage any and all rights I have to assert a priority wage claim in the bankruptcy
proceeding. I also authorize CoAdvantage and its affiliates to initiate any adjustments on future wages for any entries made in
error.
Wage Deduction Authorization (For Texas employees only): This policy is intended for clients of CoAdvantage
exclusively and only with the Employer’s prior approval. I understand and agree that CoAdvantage and my Employer may
deduct money from my pay from time to time for reasons that fall into the following categories: 1) My share of the premiums
for an Employer-sponsored group health plan; 2) Installment payments on wage advances given to me by my Employer, and
if there is a balance remaining when I leave the Employer, the balance of such advances; 3) The cost of repairing or replacing
any of the Employer’s supplies, materials, equipment, uniforms or other property that I may damage (other than normal wear
and tear), lose, fail to return or take without appropriate authorization from the Employer during my employment and/or 4) If
I take paid vacation or sick leave in advance of the date I would normally be entitled to it and I separate from the Employer
before accruing time to cover such advance leave, the value of such leave taken in advance that is not so covered.
Payroll Deductions: CoAdvantage is required by law in some circumstances to recognize certain court orders and wage
garnishments. CoAdvantage will notify me of any pending garnishments or wage deductions. Additionally, CoAdvantage
will make proper mandated legal deductions from my earnings including state and federal taxes. I authorize CoAdvantage
to make certain other voluntary deductions that may be deducted from my paycheck including health insurance coverage,
401(k) and other voluntary deductions. I consent to and agree that CoAdvantage may rely on any Wage Deduction
Authorization I signed for other deductions provided by my Employer.
CoAdvantage Workers’ Safety and Reporting: If my Employer is covered by an outside workers’ compensation policy not
provided by CoAdvantage, I understand and acknowledge that I should contact my Employer’s designated representative or
my supervisor for specific policy rules and reporting recommendations.
If CoAdvantage maintains my workers’ compensation coverage, I agree to immediately report to my Employer and
CoAdvantage any accidents or injuries I suffer while working or while on my Employer’s premises. I further agree to follow
all safety rules and regulations established by either CoAdvantage or my Employer and realize that failure to do so may alter
any workers’ compensation benefits provided to me. I recognize the fact that any work-related injuries sustained by me
are covered by state workers’ compensation statutes, and to avoid the circumvention of such statutes, I hereby waive and
forever release any rights I might have to make claims or bring suit against CoAdvantage or its other clients or customers for
damages based upon injuries which are covered under such workers’ compensation statutes.
Notice to Texas Employees: You may elect to retain your common law right of action if, no later than five days after
you begin employment or within five days after receiving written notice from the Employer that the Employer has obtained
coverage, you notify CoAdvantage or your Employer (as applicable) in writing that you wish to retain your common law right
to recover damages for personal injury. If you elect to retain your common law right of action, you cannot obtain workers’
compensation income or medical benefits if you are injured.
Drug Testing: I understand that my Employer may now have, or may later establish, a drug-free workplace or a drug and/or
alcohol testing program consistent with applicable federal, state, or local law. I understand that, pursuant to the Employer’s
policy and federal, state, or local law, I may, as a condition of hire or continued employment, be subject to urinalysis and/
or blood screening or other medically recognized tests designed to detect the presence of alcohol or controlled drugs. I also
understand that I may be subject to an alcohol and/or drug test before any treatment of a work-related accident or injury and
if I refuse to be tested or test positive, I may be denied all of my Workers’ Compensation medical and indemnity benefits. I
understand that refusal to submit to an alcohol and/or drug test may be considered a positive test result and/or grounds for
termination.
Background Check: I understand that all information contained in this employee packet is subject to verification. In the
event my Employer requires a complete background and/or credit check, I authorize and consent, to the extent permitted by
federal, state and local law, to allow my Employer, CoAdvantage or their respective agent(s) to obtain information including,
but not limited to, motor vehicle reports (driving records), credit history, employment or educational references, criminal history
and any other information concerning me.
Anti-Harassment Reporting: I understand that CoAdvantage and my Employer follow the policy of a harassment-free work
environment and I will conduct myself accordingly. I further understand and agree to report to my Employer or CoAdvantage
incidents of harassment against myself or witnessed co-worker harassment. Complaints of harassment may be reported to
CoAdvantage at (877) 535-5226.
Authorization Release: I hereby authorize any party or agency contacted by my Employer, CoAdvantage or their respective
agent(s) to furnish information requested. I understand that I may be required to complete additional releases authorizing my
Employer or its agent(s) to investigate all statements contained in this or any other employment-related documents. I hereby
release, discharge and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by federal, state and local law, my Employer, CoAdvantage,
their respective agent(s) and any party delivering information to them pursuant to this authorization from any liabilities, claims,
charges or causes of action that I may have as a result of the gathering, delivery or disclosure of any requested information.
Acknowledgment for Participation in Client-Sponsored Benefit Plans: If my Employer notifies CoAdvantage that I am
participating in a client-sponsored benefit plan (a benefit plan sponsored by my Employer and not by CoAdvantage) then
I authorize CoAdvantage to take payroll deductions in an amount specified by my Employer and to remit such deducted
amounts to my Employer. I acknowledge that CoAdvantage has no discretionary authority over the assets of these benefit
plans and relies solely on information supplied by my Employer.
_________ Part-Time or On-Call Employees Only (Initial if Applicable): I understand and acknowledge that my employment
status with my Employer will be Part-Time and/or On-Call, and there will be no guarantee of how many hours I will be
assigned and/or work in any given week.
Consent to Electronic Signature: I hereby grant to my Employer a limited power of attorney to electronically submit
such information and bind me to any electronic version of any form included as part of the new employee packet that I
have manually completed and signed, but only to the extent permitted by law and only to the extent such form is used in
connection with my co-employment by CoAdvantage and my Employer.
Employee Authorizations & Acknowledgments
Non-Exclusive Acknowledgment and Consent: I acknowledge that this document is not exclusive and does not contain

Employee Certification
I hereby certify that all information contained in this employee packet or in any other application, résumé or document
provided to my Employer or CoAdvantage is true, accurate and complete, and is provided knowingly and voluntarily.
I understand that providing any false, inaccurate or incomplete information may result in disciplinary action, up to and
