The Town of Holderness is an Equal Opportunity Employer Revised: 2/3/2020
PLEASE READ CARFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
In exchange for the consideration of my job application by the Town of Holderness (hereinafter called
“the Town”), I agree that:
Neither the acceptance of this application nor the subsequent entry into any type of employment
relationship, either in the position applied for or any other position, and regardless of the contents of
employee handbooks, personnel manuals, benefit plans, policy statements, and the like as they may exist
from time to time, or other Town practices, shall serve to create an actual or implied contract of
employment, or to confer any right to remain an employee of the Town, or otherwise to change in any
respect the employment-at-will relationship between it and the undersigned, and that relationship cannot
be altered except by a written instrument signed by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen or Town
Administrator. Both the undersigned and the Town may end the employment relationship at any time,
without specified notice or reason. If employed, I understand that the Town may unilaterally change or
revise their benefits, policies and procedures and such changes may include reduction in benefits.
I authorize investigation of all statements contained in this application. I understand that the
misrepresentation or omission of facts called for is cause for dismissal at any time without any previous
notice. I herby give the Town permission to contact schools, previous employers (unless otherwise
indicated), references, and others, and herby release the Town from any liability as a result of such
contract.
I also understand that (1) the town has a drug and alcohol policy that provides for pre-employment testing
as well as testing after employment; (2) consent to and compliance with such policy is a condition of my
employment; and (3) continued employment is based on the successful passing of testing under such
policy. I further understand that continued employment may be based on the successful passing of job-
related physical examinations.
I understand that, in connection with the routine processing of your employment application, the Town
may request from a consumer reporting agency an investigative consumer report including information as
to my credit records, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living. Upon
written request from me, the Town, will provide me additional information concerning the nature and
scope of any such report requested by it, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
I further understand that my employment with the Town shall be probationary for a period of ninety (90)
days, and further that at any time during the probationary period or thereafter, my employment relation
with the Town is terminable at will for any reason by either party.
