Application for Employment

I certify that the information contained in this application is correct to the best of my knowledge and understand that any falsification, misrepresentation or omission on this application is grounds for refusal to hire, or if hired, dismissal. I authorize any of the persons or organizations referenced in this application to give The Daily any and all information concerning my previous employment, education, or any other information they might have, personal or otherwise, with regard to any of the subjects covered by this application and release all such parties and The Daily from all liability for any damage that may result from furnishing such information. I authorize The Daily to request and receive such information.

If employed, I understand that I will be an employee "at will" and either The Daily or I may terminate my employment relationship at any time with or without notice for any reason.

I agree to comply with The Daily rules, regulations and policies, and acknowledge that these rules, regulations and policies may be changed, interpreted, withdrawn, or supplemented any time, and without prior notice to me.

I acknowledge that any offer of employment, or my acceptance of an employment offer, if such is to occur, may be withdrawn, with or without cause, and with or without prior notice, at any time, at the option of The Daily or myself. I understand that this application and any other documents which I may receive are not contracts for employment. I further understand that no representative from The Daily other than the Board of Directors has an authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time either prior to commencement of employment or after I have become employed, or to offer any benefits or items and conditions of employment.

I understand that if I am considered for employment, I will be asked to provide a list of professional references. I understand that if I am a final candidate for a position, I might be required to undergo a background check. This check may include Federal, State, and County Criminal Record checks, Social Security Number verification, Office of the Inspector General checks, a physical examination, as well as other tests, if applicable. If the position for which I am applying requires a professional license, my license and education will be verified. If my position requires a valid Driver's License, my motor vehicle record will also be checked.

I authorize an inquiry regarding this information if I am considered for employment, and release Minnesota Daily and related organizations from liability for seeking such information. I understand that failure to cooperate with any background check or unsatisfactory results may result in withdrawal of application for consideration of employment or offer of employment. I understand that employment may be denied if I am unable to perform the essential functions of a position, given reasonable accommodation, and that my employment may be terminated, with or without cause, at the discretion of the company or myself. No management official, other than the Office of Co-Publishers of the company, has any authority to enter into any agreement contrary to the foregoing or make any oral assurance of continued employment.
