What is Employment Application – Escambia County, FL?
The Employment Application, printed on the form as Application for Appointment, is the Escambia County Tax Collector's job application: a four-page PDF on which an applicant lists education, work history, veteran's preference, driving record and references, and signs two certifications.
The form is issued by the Office of the Tax Collector, Escambia County, Florida, and states that the office is an equal opportunity employer. It is organized in blocks: personal details and employment desired; the Tobacco & Drug Use Policy and the Body Piercing and Tattoo Policy; education; previous employment; veteran's preference; five background questions; driving record; references; and the Appointment Application Certification.
By signing the certification, the applicant states that the information is true and complete and authorizes the tax collector and/or Landrum Staffing Services, Inc. to investigate the statements, contact references and previous employers, and obtain a consumer reporting report for employment purposes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The form says that false, incomplete or misleading information is sufficient cause for rejecting the application, or for dismissal if discovered after employment.
Different pages carry different printed revision dates (07/02/2020, 05/17/2017 and 03/22/2018). This is an application for employment with the Tax Collector's office; it is not used to pay or dispute any tax.
Who needs to file Employment Application – Escambia County, FL?
Anyone applying for a position within the office of the Escambia County Tax Collector uses this application. The form says applicants must verify their non-use of drugs and tobacco products to be considered for employment, and the signature under the two office policies confirms the applicant's understanding and willingness to comply with them.
Specific groups the form addresses:
- Applicants related to anyone who works for the tax collector must give that person's name, department and location.
- Veterans who claim veteran's preference choose one of four categories (service-connected disability, spouse of a qualifying veteran, veteran who served on active duty during a wartime era, or unremarried widow or widower of a veteran who died of a service-connected disability) and must submit a copy of their DD-214.
- Applicants who have worked before must complete every previous-employment block, including military service and job-related volunteer work where applicable.
The form asks whether you are 18 years or older, but it does not say what happens if you answer No. It names no one who may complete or sign it for the applicant.
When to file Employment Application – Escambia County, FL
Submit the application when you apply for a position with the Escambia County Tax Collector. The form prints no application deadline and no filing window of its own; it asks for the position you want, the date you can start and the salary you desire, so complete it for the position you are seeking.
The certification explains what can follow. An offer of appointment may be conditioned on satisfactory results of a background investigation, and the tax collector may request a urinalysis or other drug screen test as a condition of appointment and continued appointment. The form gives no processing time or status-check method.
Documents you need
- A copy of your DD-214, only if you claim veteran's preference; the form states you must submit it.
- Additional sheets in the same format as the application, only if you need more room for previous employment, traffic violations or accidents.
