and all such doctors, medical examiners, and clinics/hospitals to give to Marion County full and complete reports
and records covering such examinations.

pass a screening for alcohol and/or drugs that is included in a post-offer pre-employment physical examination. I
also understand that, if employed, I may be required to submit to an alcohol or drug screening according to state
law. I agree that Marion County shall be entitled to receive full and complete reports and records governing any
alcohol or drug screening, and I authorize any and all such doctors, medical examiners, and clinics/hospitals to
give to this organization full and complete reports and records covering such examinations.

be entitled to receive full and complete reports and records governing any medical or related examinations, and I
authorize any and all such doctors, medical examiners, and clinics/hospitals to give to Marion County full and
complete reports and records covering such examinations, condition, care and treatment related to or resulting
from the alleged illness or injury.
That if employment is obtained under this application, I will comply with all rules and policies of the organization. I
agree to be responsible for the organization’s property and equipment issued to me by the organization until
returned by me. I agree to pay for property and equipment not returned, and authorize the organization to withhold
an amount equal to the value of the property not returned by me from my final pay.

that Marion County follows an “employment at-will” policy that an individual who is hired may voluntarily leave
