Employment Application

It is the policy of the Macatawa Area Express Transportation Authority to provide equal opportunity in employment of all persons and to prohibit discrimination because of race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, veteran status, or other protected class, except where any constitute a bona fide occupational qualification. In accordance with 49 CFR Part 27, MAX invites all applicants to provide the information requested below. The information obtained will be treated in a confidential manner, and will be used to assist in fulfilling MAX’s federal statistical reporting and affirmative action monitoring requirements. The information is strictly voluntary and optional. However, we urge your cooperation in this matter as it will be very helpful to MAX. Thank you for your consideration.

I hereby certify that all statements on this application for Employment are made truthfully and without evasion, and further understand and agree that such statements may be investigated and if found to be false will be sufficient reason for not being offered employment or if, if employed, result in my dismissal. I authorized the references listed here and those from any prior employer, educational institution, or any other person or organization to give the MAX Transportation Authority any and all information concerning my previous employment/educational accomplishment, disciplinary information or any other pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise, and release all parties from all liabilities for any damage that may result from furnishing same to you. I hereby waive written notice that employment information is being provided by any person or organization.

In accordance with ADA requirements, if I require an accommodation to perform the job, I must notify the MAX Transportation Authority of that need within 180 days after I know or reasonably should have known that an accommodation was needed. Failure to do so will bar me from alleging that MAX has not accommodated me as required by law.

I hereby do authorize the MAX to secure criminal conviction history from law enforcement agencies if it deems necessary to do so.

I agree to take a physical exam and authorize MAX with its designated agents to withdraw specimens of my blood, urine, hair or other substances for chemical analysis. The purpose of this analysis is to determine or exclude the presence of alcohol, drugs, or other illegal substances. I understand that decisions concerning my employment will be made as a result of this test.

BY CLICKING "SUBMIT", I ADOPT THIS AS MY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE. FURTHER, I CONSENT AND AGREE THAT I HAVE REVIEWED AND APPROVED THIS EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION AS WELL AS ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, CONSENT TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS, AND THAT MY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS IF I SIGNED THEM IN INK.
