Job Application Agreement*
Equal Employment Opportunity: While many employers are required by federal law to have an Affirmative Action Program, all employers are required to provide equal employment opportunity and may ask your national origin, race and sex for planning and reporting purposes only. This information is optional and failure to provide it will have no affect on your application for employment

I authorize investigation of all statements contained herein and the references listed within to give you any and all information concerning my previous employment and pertinent information they may have person and otherwise, and release all parties from all liability for any damage that may result from furnishing same to you.

I agree to abide by the rules and policies of ARD Group. I understand and agree that all policies and procedures of ARD Group may be modified, amended or deleted by the employer with or without notice to me and that the policies and procedures whether oral or written are not contractual and are not to be interpreted as a contract of employment or to give me any right of continued employment.

I understand that my employment may be terminated at the will of either myself or the Company with or without cause and with or without notice by either party. I also understand that no one at ARD Group can change my employment at will unless ARD Group and I enter into an express written employment agreement signed by the President/ CEO. Upon termination from employment from the Company, if I owe the Company money including, without limitation, for any vacation taken before it is earned, I authorize the Company to deduct the entire balance due and owing to the Company from any amounts owed to me by the Company (as allowed by law).

I also understand that my employment is conditional upon, among other things, proving eligibility to work in the United States.

I agree to submit to an alcohol or drug screening test as required by the Company, and understand that refusal to do so, or positive results, may result in either the withdrawal of any employment offer or termination of employment.

I certify that the facts contained in this application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and understand that, if employed, falsified statements or omissions on this application shall be grounds for dismissal with no liability on the part of the Company.

I understand that any employment offer and my continued employment with Stage is contingent upon the completion of a satisfactory criminal background check. I understand and agree that my refusal to authorize a criminal background check or the existence of a criminal record may result in either the withdrawal of any employment offer or the termination of my employment with ARD Group.

I understand ARD Group will provide accommodations to help qualified applicants and associates with a disability to perform the essential functions of their jobs.

The ARD Group Dispute Resolution Program requires that any dispute between me and ARD Group, or employment-related claim by either of us against the other, must be resolved through internal company procedures or through mediation or final and binding arbitration. No such dispute or claim can be taken to court or heard by a jury. This includes, but is not limited to, any claim or dispute I might have involving a Company officer, director, owner, associate, representative, or agent that relates to my employment with Stage. It also includes, but is not limited to any claim based upon a failure or refusal to hire. I acknowledge that a copy of the complete Dispute Resolution Program has been provided to me or will be provided to me prior to beginning work for the Company. If I fail to comply with the Dispute Resolution Program or any policy or procedure described in the Associate Handbook, my employment may be terminated. Even if my employment is terminated (voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason), the Dispute Resolution Program will continue to apply. If not hired by the Company, I understand that a copy of the ARD Group Dispute Resolution Program will be provided to me upon my request.

I understand that ARD Group's employment applications are retained for six months and that if I wish to be considered after six months, I must complete another application at that time.
I agree
