ORANGEBURG COUNTY DISABILITIES & SPECIAL NEEDS BOARD is an equal opportunity employer and selects the best matched individual for the job based upon job-related qualifications, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, age, handicap or other protected groups under state, federal or local Equal Opportunity laws.

I understand and agree that:

1. Any material misrepresentation or deliberate omission of a fact on my application may be justification for  refusal of, or if employed, termination from employment.
    

2. It is my understanding that OCDSNB will make a thorough investigation of my entire work and personal history and may verify all data given in my application for employment, related papers or oral interviews.  I authorize such investigation and the giving and receiving of any information requested by OCDSNB and I release from liability any person giving or receiving such information.  I understand that falsification of data so given or other derogatory information discovered as a result of this investigation may prevent my being hired, or if hired, may subject me to immediate dismissal.  I certify that I have never been involved in a substantiated case of abuse or neglect of any person(s).
    

3. I agree that my employment may be terminated by this organization at any time without liability for wages or salary except such as may have been earned at the date of such termination.  If requested by the management at any time, I agree to submit to the search of my person or of any locker that may be assigned to me, and I hereby waive all claims for damages on account of such examination.  I authorize any physician or hospital to release any information which may be necessary to determine my ability to perform the duties of the job I am being considered for prior to employment or in the future during my employment with OCDSNB.
    

4. Although management makes every effort to accommodate individual preferences, business needs may at times make the following conditions mandatory:  overtime, shift work, a rotating schedule or a work schedule other than Monday through Friday.  I understand and accept these as conditions of my continuing employment.

I further understand that this is an application for employment and that no employment contract is being offered.

I, the undersigned, understand that a fee is charged by the SC Law Enforcement Division and SC Department of Public Safety for obtaining a copy of my background check and driving record.  This fee is the responsibility of the applicant.  The perspective employee may pay said fee of $14.00 at the time of application or may have said fee withheld from his/her first paycheck.  (NO EXCEPTIONS).

I understand that if I am employed, such employment is NOT a contract of employment.  Our personnel policies are subject to change at any time by the Orangeburg County Disabilities & Special Needs Board.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this application or of any personnel policy, all employees of the Orangeburg County Disabilities and Special Needs Board are “employees-at-will"? who may quit at any time for any or no reason and who may be terminated at any time for any or no reason.

I have read and understand the above.
