    If Yes, describe the conviction that occurred, the facts and circumstances, and any facts pertaining to rehabilitation. (Do not list any criminal charges for which the records have been expunged. A criminal offense will not necessarily bar employment.)

    Confirmations

    I certify that answers given herein are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I authorize investigation of all statements contained in this application for employment as may be necessary in arriving at an employment decision. I further understand that any information reported by me on this application that is false will be reason for immediate disqualification for consideration for employment.

    UNDER MARYLAND LAW, AN EMPLOYER MAY NOT REQUIRE OR DEMAND, AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT, PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYMENT, OR CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT, THAT AN INDIVIDUAL SUBMIT TO OR TAKE A LIE DETECTOR OR SIMILAR TEST. AN EMPLOYER WHO VIOLATES THIS LAW IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $100.

    I understand that nothing contained in this application is intended to create an employment contract between the George J. Falter Company, Inc. and myself for either employment or the providing of any benefit. No promises of any kind regarding employment with the George J. Falter Company, Inc. have been made to me. If an employment relationship is established, I understand that my employment will be at-will and that I or the George J. Falter Company, Inc. have the right to terminate my employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause. Further, I understand that no officer, agent, representative, or employee of the George J. Falter Company, Inc. has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement for specific wages, benefits, or other conditions of employment, unless such agreement is committed to in writing and signed by the president of the George J. Falter Company, Inc. Finally, I understand that any representations made by officers, agents or employees of the George J. Falter Company, Inc. during the interview process are only their own personal expectation of the requirements and conditions of employment should I be hired and it is entirely possible that the actual requirements and conditions of employment will be entirely different and contrary to any representations made to me.
