I certify that the information contained in this employment application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand and agree that misrepresentation or falsification of any part of this application may be cause for withdrawal of any offer of employment or immediate termination of employment. I understand that this employment application and any other employment-related documents do not constitute a contract of employment and that I or the company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, as Bethel is an “at will” employer, in accordance with the guidelines of the State of Tennessee. In making this application for employment, I understand that an independent investigation may be made whereby job-related information will be obtained regarding my scholastic, employment, credit, and criminal records. I understand that such an investigation will be used to determine work assignment or employment eligibility under the church’s employment policies. I hereby authorize the church to investigate any and all matters contained in this application. I authorize and consent for full release of records (oral or written) to authorized representatives of the church. I acknowledge that, prior to or during my employment, the church may require any legal testing and/or examination, including but not limited to, medical, physical, drug and/or alcohol, psychological, and skill and aptitude. I also authorize my previous employer(s) to release to the church, and the church to receive, any and all information concerning my past work history, including disciplinary records, to be used in connection with consideration of my application for employment. I also waive all statutory rights under any Local, State or Federal law and any private causes of action whatsoever which might otherwise be available to protest the release, receipt and/or consideration of such information including but not limited to any right to notification of release by my previous employer. I hereby release the church, my former employers, and all other persons from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of, or in any way related to, such disclosure. I further understand that conflict resolution occurs through mediation and, should the need arise, a licensed arbitrator would be selected by Bethel. Date: November 5, 2026 |
