PART I – COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
By signing this release, I am voluntarily requesting that your Company depart from the general policy in responding to reference requests from any prospective employer that may be considering me for employment.
I authorize your Company to disclose to such prospective employers any employment-related information that the Company, in its sole discretion and judgment, may determine is appropriate to disclose, including any personal comments, evaluations, or assessments that may have about my performance or behavior as an employee.
In exchange for your Company’s agreement to depart from its general policy and to disclose additional employment-related information pursuant to my request, I agree to release and discharge the Company and the Company's successors, employees, officers, and directors for all claims, liabilities, and causes of action, know or unknown, fixed or contingent, that arise from or that are in any manner connected to your Company’s disclosure of employment-related information to prospective employers. This release includes, but is not limited to, claims of defamation, libel, slander, negligence, or interference with contract or profession.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand the provisions of this release. I further acknowledge that I was given the opportunity to consult with an attorney or any other individual of my choosing before signing this release and that I have decided to sign this release voluntarily and without coercion or duress by any person.
