In consideration of my employment, I agree to conform to the policies and procedures of SFSH and that SFSH may revise policies or procedures, in whole or in part, at any time. I understand that nothing contained in this employment application or in granting of an interview is intended to create an employment contract between SFSH and myself for either employment or for the providing of any benefit. No promises regarding employment have been made to me, and I understand that no such promise or guarantee is binding upon SFSH. Furthermore, if I am hired, I understand that my employment will be at the will of both parties and I am free to resign at any time for any reason, and that SFSH reserves the right to terminate my employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, and without prior notice. I understand that no representative of SFSH has authority to make any representations or assurances to the contrary.

In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, SFSH has established a Drug-Free Workplace company-wide policy. It is SFSH policy to maintain a work environment that is safe for all employees and conducive to attaining high work standards. 

I understand any offer of employment will be contingent upon receipt of satisfactory information from background and reference checks, including information that may be included on a consumer report about me. I authorize SFSH to make a thorough investigation of my past employment, education, credit history, criminal records and job-related activities. To the extent permitted by law, I release SFSH from any liability which might result from making such investigation and I also release from any liability all persons and entities supplying such information. I understand that SFSH may obtain a Consumer Report / Investigative Consumer Report for the purpose of evaluating me for employment, promotion, reassignment, or retention. I understand that I am entitled to obtain, by written request, disclosure of the nature and scope of the report.

I understand that if SFSH makes an offer of employment to me it will be a conditional offer of employment and I will be requested to submit to a preemployment physical examination and screening and to provide information in response to medical inquiries, the results of which might disqualify me from employment. If requested, I agree to furnish such information and to submit to such pre-employment physical examination and screening. I further understand that I have the right to refuse to submit to such examination and screening of my own free will but that such refusal may be considered a withdrawal of my application for employment.
