AUTHORIZATION

The facts set forth in this application and any supplemental information are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that, if employed, falsified statements on this application shall be considered sufficient cause for immediate discharge. I hereby authorize investigation of all statements contained herein and employers listed above to give you any and all information concerning my employment, and any pertinent information they may have, and release all parties from all liability for any damage that may result from furnishing same.

I understand that neither the completion of this application nor any other part of my consideration for employment establishes any obligation for the company to hire me. If I am hired, I understand that either the company or I can terminate my employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause and without prior notice. I understand that no representative of the company has the authority to make any assurance to the contrary.

I understand that I am required to abide by all rules and regulations of the company.

Pre-Employment Drug and Alcohol Testing
* I understand that I must take and pass a drug and alcohol test in order to be hired by the Western Will County Communication Center (WESCOM).  I know I may refuse to take the test if I wish, but that my refusal will mean I will not be hired.

I have been told that if I choose to be tested:

I will have to provide a urine specimen at a facility chosen by WESCOM and cooperate in the facility’s normal collection procedures;

My specimen will be sent to a laboratory chosen by WESCOM and tested for evidence I use drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opiates, PCP, and amphetamines;

If the lab finds no evidence of such drug use in my urine, I will have passed the test and may (but not necessarily) be eligible to be hired;

If the lab finds evidence of such drug use in my urine, a doctor retained by WESCOM will make reasonable efforts to contact me to offer me an opportunity to rebut or explain my test results.  If I rebut or explain the results to the satisfaction of the doctor, I will be treated as if I have passed the test;

If I do not satisfactorily rebut or explain any evidence of drug use, the doctor will disclose my results to WECOM and I will not be hired;

If I fail the test, I may re-apply in six months or after submitting evidence I am participating successfully in a drug treatment program.

After considering my option, I have freely, knowingly, and voluntarily decided to:
Consent to be tested
Decline to be tested
Acknowledgement of Working Conditions
* It is WESCOM's desire to ensure that applicants for employment are aware of the unique circumstances and requirements to work in a 911/Emergency Communications Center.  Applicants should carefully read each item, and sign at the end that they understand and/or agree.

I understand/agree that should I be employed by the Western Will County Communication Center, that:

My normal work week will be both 8 & 10 hour days, 40 hours a week; I may be ordered to work 4-8 additional hours with little or no notice.

That I may be ordered into work in cases of short staffing or emergency incidents with little notice, and that I may not refuse such an order.

That I will be required to wear a headset that covers 1 ear for the duration of my shift.

That I may be required to remain at the dispatch console for long periods of time without a break.

That I will be exposed to phone calls and emergency incidents that may involve situations involving hostile callers, domestic violence, children, physical injury, and/or death.

That my shift assignment and day off rotation are subject to bidding based on a collective bargaining agreement, once I complete training; and that I may not get my preferred choices.  WESCOM operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and never ceases operation.

That my normal work schedule and/or mandatory overtime will include working weekends and holidays.  Employee requests for specific days off are regulated by the Personnel manual and/or collective bargaining agreement, and may not necessarily be granted.

That I am expected to plan accordingly to report for duty, even in cases of severe weather.
