Digital Signature

By digitally signing below I certify that the information in this application is true and complete for all practical purposes. It may be verified by the facility or any affiliate. Should a position be offered and later it is found that the information is significantly untrue, incomplete, or misrepresented, I understand and agree that the facility or its affiliates are relieved of all commitments, financial or otherwise pertinent to employment, and that I am subject to immediate discharge without recourse. I understand that an investigative report may be made by a consumer reporting agency to include information as to my character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living, whichever may be applicable. If such an investigative report is made, I understand that I will receive notice that such report has been requested, and that I will have the right to make a written request for a complete and accurate disclosure of additional information concerning the nature and scope of the investigation. I understand and agree that if I am offered employment by the facility, my employment will be for no definite term and that either I, or the facility will have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. I also understand that this status can only be altered by a written contract of employment which is specific as to all material terms and is signed by me and the Administrator of the facility. I understand, if I am an unlicensed person and if I have direct patient contact that the Agency will perform a background check, including criminal history check, OIG exclusion list check (if applicable), and any additional checks as required by accrediting body standards or State Regulations. I further understand, if I am an unlicensed person, the Agency will perform a check of the Nurse Aide Registry and Employee Misconduct Registry. I understand that: 1) the purpose of the Employee Misconduct Registry is to ensure that unlicensed personnel who commit acts of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation, or misconduct against residents and consumers are denied employment in HHS-regulated facilities and agencies; 2) the State of Texas maintains a registry of all nurse aides who are certified to provide services in nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) and they review and investigate allegations of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of resident property by nurse aides and if there's a finding of an alleged act of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation, the nurse aide may request both an informal reconsideration and a formal hearing before the finding is placed on the registry; 3) All HHS-regulated facilities and agencies are required to check the Employee Misconduct Registry and Nurse Aide Registry before hire to determine if I am listed in either registry as having committed an act of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation, or misconduct against a resident or consumer and am, therefore, unemployable. *

I hereby authorize any prior employers to provide such information concerning my employment with them as may be requested, and also authorize the Registrar/Placement Office of all educational institutions attended to release an official copy of my transcript and, if available, faculty appraisals. I also authorize any appropriate licensing board to release full information concerning my license status and my license history.

STATEMENT OF EMPLOYABILITY

By execution of this document, I acknowledge that I have been informed by the Agency and agree that the Agency may conduct a State of Texas criminal history check per TXH&SC 250.006. I agree to a search of the Nurse Aide Registry and the Employee Misconduct Registry prior to employment and at least every 12 months if hired. As required, I agree to a search of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s OIG List of Excluded Individual/Entities, prior to being hired and monthly thereafter, the HHS - OIG Excluded Individuals/Entities Search Database and SAM Exclusion List. I understand that these checks will determine if I have a criminal conviction or have committed certain conduct that will bar me from employment with this Agency. I understand that I am unemployable if listed as unemployable in the NAR or EMR per TAC §93.3 and TxH&SC Chapter 253.

CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK

I have informed this agency of all names (i.e., maiden, aliases) that I have used in the past. I understand that my employment is pending the results of the criminal history check and that I may not have face-to-face patient/client contact until results are returned. I will be notified of results. I acknowledge that if I am found to have been convicted of any other offense(s), that these offenses may also bar my employment. I understand that all information obtained by this Agency regarding any criminal history will remain confidential. I certify that the information on this form contains no willful misrepresentation and that the information given is true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
