Criminal Background Check
Unless restricted by law, I understand that in conjunction with my application for employment, the Company will conduct a criminal background check of criminal convictions and pending prosecutions in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and that information obtained as a result of this background check may, but will not necessarily, result in my not receiving an offer of employment, withdrawal of my offer of employment, or termination of employment.
