OCCJA prohibits discrimination, harassment, or retaliation against employees and applicants based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, national origin, citizenship status, disability, genetic information, veterans鈥?status, or other legally protected classification. Applicants with a disability who feel they need an accommodation for the application and/or selection process should advise the Training Division in writing.

I have read the job requirements for the position I have applied for and certify that I am able to perform the essential job functions of the position with or without a reasonable accommodation.

I further certify that all statements and information contained herein are true and complete, and I understand that any misstatements, or omissions of material fact will result in a refusal of employment or termination of employment, if employed.

I understand OCCJA requires a thorough background investigation and may verify all data provided in this application. I hereby authorize my present and previous employers and educational institutions to provide the information requested to OCCJA.

I understand that as part of the selection process, applicants must participate in a physical agility test to determine their ability to meet the physical demands of the position, pass a written examination to measure the basic skills necessary to successfully perform the duties of the position, and attend a panel interview conducted by OCCJA personnel. If I am unable to complete any of these requirements successfully, with or without a reasonable accommodation, I understand that any further employment consideration will end, and I will be notified.

If I receive an offer of employment, I understand that the offer is contingent upon successfully completing a medical screening to determine that I can fulfill the physical requirements of the job and passing a comprehensive drug screening. I further understand that the offered position is classified as a safety-sensitive position, which means OCCJA may revoke the offer of employment, if I test positive for marijuana, even if I have a medical marijuana license.

I understand and acknowledge that this is only an application for employment. This application is not intended to and does not create a contract or an offer of employment. I understand that if I am hired, my employment will be at-will, meaning that OCCJA or I may terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without cause. It is further understood that if I am hired, the terms, conditions, and privileges of employment can be changed at any time by the Jail Administrator or authorized designee.

OCCJA鈥檚 operational needs may at times require employees to work mandatory overtime, work a specific shift, work a rotation schedule, work a schedule other than Monday through Friday, or reassignment to another job post. I understand and accept these conditions, if I am hired.

If I am hired, I agree to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, personnel policies, and jail operational policies and procedures.

I have read or have had this application read to me and understand all statements and questions contained in the application for employment and have answered to the best of my ability.
