Application fraud and misrepresentation

Application materials will need to be submitted through the Workday platform in order to be considered for regular CCE positions. By applying, you certify that all statements (verbal and written) made on any and all material collected during the hiring process are true, complete and accurate and understand that misrepresentation or omission of facts called for in the employment application, resume, interview process or other application material may prohibit consideration for employment at Cornell Cooperative Extension and is cause for immediate termination if employed.

Reference and background checking

Applying for a specific job authorizes Cornell Cooperative Extension to contact any of your schools, your current* and former employers or other references for the purpose of verifying information and/or obtaining an account of your education, work experience and skills. By applying for a job you agree to hold any and all of your reference sources harmless and free of any liability for releasing such information. Please note that for some positions a more extensive background check is part of the employment decision making process and you will need to sign any necessary disclosure and release forms. (* Please note that the point at which your prospective hiring supervisor will contact your employer may vary; however, this is most commonly done on a pre- employment basis usually after the initial interview. This practice is rarely performed on a pre-interview basis. If you have concerns about having your current employer contacted, please communicate those concerns to the person who conducts your initial interview to determine what, if any, alternatives exist.)

Employment eligibility verification

All offers of employment by Cornell Cooperative Extension are contingent on the provision of satisfactory proof of your identity and legal authority to work in the United States. Prior to or on your first day of employment, you must comply with the requirements of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9 Form).

Post Offer, Pre-Employment Medical Examination/Immunization(s)

For some positions, after an offer of employment is made, a pre-employment medical examination or immunization(s) may be required by the hiring department as a condition of employment only if it is relevant to the job. By applying for a specific job, you acknowledge your understanding and agreement that failure to successfully complete a required post-offer, pre-employment medical examination or immunization(s) will result in Cornell Cooperative Extension rescinding the employment offer or terminating your employment.

Offers of employment

Please be advised that Cornell Cooperative Extension will not be bound by offers or conditions of employment other than those made in official offer letters.
