2. Equal Opportunity Statement

Affordable Contracting intends to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with applicable law. Employment decisions should be based on lawful business factors such as qualifications, experience, skills, availability, reliability, job-related requirements, safety, performance, business needs, and other lawful considerations.

Affordable Contracting does not intend to discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

Nothing in this statement creates a contract, guarantee of employment, guarantee of review, guarantee of interview, or guarantee of any particular hiring outcome.

3. No Guarantee of Review, Response, Interview, Offer, or Employment

Submitting an employment application, resume, inquiry, document, or message does not guarantee:

• Review of the application.
• A response from Affordable Contracting.
• A phone call, email, text, meeting, or interview.
• Continued consideration.
• A job offer.
• Employment.
• A particular position, department, jobsite, foreman, schedule, pay rate, benefit, or work assignment.
• Any future promotion, transfer, raise, bonus, overtime opportunity, or continued work.

Affordable Contracting may accept, reject, review, ignore, archive, delete, or retain applications at its discretion and for lawful business reasons.

4. At-Will Employment Notice

Unless a separate written agreement signed by an authorized company representative states otherwise, employment with Affordable Contracting is intended to be at-will to the fullest extent permitted by law.

At-will employment means that either the employee or Affordable Contracting may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without advance notice, subject to applicable law.

No website content, application form, interview statement, employee handbook, policy, job posting, text message, email, supervisor statement, or oral statement creates an employment contract or changes at-will status unless expressly stated in a written agreement signed by an authorized company representative.

5. Applicant Accuracy and Truthfulness Required

Applicants are responsible for submitting truthful, accurate, complete, and current information. This includes information about identity, contact information, work history, education, licenses, certifications, driving qualifications, tools, skills, availability, references, criminal history where lawfully requested, and any other application information.

False, misleading, omitted, incomplete, exaggerated, altered, or fraudulent information may result in rejection, withdrawal of an offer, termination of employment, denial of rehire, discipline, or other lawful action.

If employment begins and Affordable Contracting later determines that application information was false, misleading, incomplete, or omitted, the company may take action up to and including termination, subject to applicable law.

6. Authorization to Review and Use Applicant Information

By submitting applicant materials, you authorize Affordable Contracting to review, store, copy, use, verify, share, and retain the information for legitimate hiring, business, legal, safety, insurance, payroll, tax, compliance, training, quality-control, and employment-related purposes.

Applicants may submit resumes, work samples, certifications, licenses, photos, identification documents, references, portfolio materials, or other files. Submitting materials does not guarantee review, return, preservation, or use.

You should keep your own copies of all materials. Affordable Contracting is not responsible for lost, corrupted, incomplete, unsupported, inaccessible, mislabeled, deleted, or misdirected files.

By submitting documents or files, you authorize Affordable Contracting to review, store, copy, share, retain, and use them for legitimate hiring, business, legal, safety, compliance, and recordkeeping purposes.

This includes customer addresses, jobsite details, photos, pricing, employee information, internal systems, trade information, business practices, and company records.

15. Retention of Applicant Information

Affordable Contracting may retain applicant information for as long as reasonably necessary for hiring, business, legal, tax, insurance, compliance, recordkeeping, audit, safety, defense, training, quality-control, and future staffing purposes.

We may delete, archive, export, preserve, or retain application materials at our discretion, subject to applicable law and business needs. Applicant information may be retained even if the applicant is not hired.
