Employee Agreement:

I understand that CoreLink Staffing Services, Inc. (which includes CoreLink, AcctgLink and HRLink, and is hereafter called “CSS”) is committed to providing equal opportunity in all employment practices, including but not limited to selection, hiring, promotion, transfer and compensation to all qualified applicants and employees without regard to age, race, color, national origin, sex, religion, handicap or disability, or any other category protected by law.

I understand that failure to contact CSS for reassignment immediately after completing an assignment, refusal of an assignment, or termination due to chronic tardiness or failure to report for an assignment may result in loss of unemployment insurance benefits, under sections 1253(e) and 1257(b) of the California Unemployment Insurance Code.

I understand that while on assignment, electronic mail and internet usage are intended for authorized business use only and any abuse or inappropriate usage may result in disciplinary action including termination.

I understand that some CSS clients have adopted policies requiring drug and/or alcohol screening tests as required under the client’s policy. By signing this agreement, I hereby authorize and consent to such drug and/or alcohol testing. I also authorize and consent to the release of the results of such drug and/or alcohol tests to appropriate employees of both CSS and its client. I further authorize, consent and agree that the results of such drug and/or alcohol testing may be introduced in any proceeding that is in any way related to my employment with CSS.

In consideration of my employment, I hereby release CSS; its clients; their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies; and their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from any and all liability arising with respect to CSS or its clients use of the results of the alcohol and/or drug tests in making employment-related decisions regarding me. I agree to sign any additional consent and/or release forms required by CSS, the client(s), or the testing laboratory.

I understand that if I refuse to submit to any drug and/or alcohol tests, I will not be considered for placement or assignment with any client that requires such testing. I further understand that if I refuse to submit to any for-cause drug test as required by CoreLink, I will immediately be terminated from my employment with CSS. I also understand that if any such tests indicate the presence of any illicit drugs or controlled substances or such other substances prohibited by CSS or its client, I will immediately be released from my assignment with such client and terminated from my employment with CSS. I also understand that successfully completing a drug and/or alcohol test does not guarantee placement on assignment with a particular client.

I understand that bonding may be a condition of hire. If it is, I will be so advised either before or after hiring and a bond application will have to be completed. If at any time I become unbondable, it will be considered just cause for immediate termination of my employment.

I understand that CSS may investigate my driving record and my criminal record. I further understand that CSS may contact my previous employers and I authorize those employers to disclose to CSS all records and information pertinent to my employment with them. In addition to authorizing the release of any information regarding my employment, I hereby fully waive any rights or claims I have or may have against my former employers, their agents, employees and representatives, as well as other individuals who release information to CSS, and release them from any and all liability, claims, or damages that may directly or indirectly result from the use, disclosure, or release of any such information by any person or party, whether such information is favorable of unfavorable to me.

I authorize the persons named herein as personal references to provide CSS with any pertinent information they may have regarding myself.

I hereby state that all the information that I provided on this application or any other documents filled out in connection with my employment, and in any interview is true and correct. I have withheld nothing that would, if disclosed, affect this application unfavorably. I understand that if I am employed and any such information is later found to be false or incomplete in any respect, I may be dismissed. I understand if selected for hire, it will be necessary for me to provide satisfactory evidence of my identity and legal authority to work in the United States, and that federal immigration laws require me to complete an I-9 Form in this regard.

If hired, I agree as follows: My employment and compensation is terminable at-will, is for no definite period, and my employment and compensation may be terminated by CSS (employer) at any time and for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause at the option of either CSS or myself. No implied, oral, or written agreements contrary to the express language of this agreement are valid unless they are in writing signed by the President of CSS. No supervisor or representative of CSS, other than the President of CSS, has any authority to make any agreements contrary to the foregoing. This agreement is the entire agreement between CoreLink and the employee regarding the rights of CSS or employee to terminate employment with or without good cause, and this agreement takes the place of all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings of the employee and CSS.

Except for exclusively monetary claims of less than $5,000, I agree that any dispute or controversy which would otherwise require or allow resort to any court or other governmental dispute resolution forum, between myself and CSS(or its owners, employees, agents, directors, and officers, and parties affiliated with its employee benefit and health plans) arising from, related to, or having any relationship or connection whatsoever with my seeking employment with, employment by, or other association with CoreLink, whether based on tort, contract, statutory, or equitable law, or otherwise, shall be submitted to, and determined by, binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, in conformity with the procedures of the California Arbitration Act (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1280 et seq., including section 1283.08 and all other rights to discovery); provided, however, that: In addition to requirements imposed by law, any arbitrator herein shall be a retired California Superior Court Judge; all rules of pleadings (including the right of demurrer), and of evidence applicable to civil actions in California courts shall apply; resolution of the disputes shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims pled, and the arbitrator may not invoke any basis other than such controlling law, including, but not limited to, notions of “just cause”; and at either party’s request, awards exceeding $50,000 shall be subject to reversal, modification, or reduction, following review of the record and arguments of the parties by a second arbitrator who shall, as far as practicable, proceed according to the law and procedures applicable to appellate review by the California Court of Appeal of a civil judgment following court trial. I understand that by agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, both CSS and I give up our rights to trial by jury.

I understand that I can read the following policies on CoreLink’s website or at CoreLink’s office during regular business hours:
  • Injury and Illness Prevention Program
  • Equal Employment and Unlawful Harassment Policy
