Arbitration of Disputes. I acknowledge that Ridgewood Country Club (the “Club”) promotes a system of alternative dispute resolution that involves binding arbitration to resolve all disputes that may arise out of the employment and application context. Because of the mutual benefits (such as reduced expense and increased efficiency) that private binding arbitration can provide, I agree that any claim, dispute, and/or controversy (including, but not limited to, any claims of discrimination and harassment, whether they be based on state law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, or any other state or federal laws or regulations) that I or the Club may have against the other shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding arbitration under the Texas Arbitration Act, in conformity with the procedures set forth therein and any other applicable statutes. This specifically includes any claim, including participation as a class representative or class member in any claim, arising from, related to, or having any relationship or connection whatsoever with my seeking employment with, employment by, termination of employment, or other association with the Club, whether based on tort, contract, statutory law, equitable law, or otherwise. By agreeing to this mandatory, binding Arbitration Agreement, I also agree to give up any right that I may have to class arbitration, multi-party claims or the consolidation of individual arbitration claims.

Claims Excepted From Binding Arbitration. The sole exceptions to mandatory arbitration are claims arising under the National Labor Relations Act that are brought before the National Labor Relations Board, claims for medical and disability benefits under Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Compensation claims filed with the state, and any claims or disputes arising out of any other written contract(s) between me and the Club where the contract specifically provides for resolution through the courts. I understand that nothing herein shall prevent me from filing and pursuing administrative proceedings only before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or an equivalent state agency (although if I choose to pursue a claim following the exhaustion of such administrative remedies, that claim would be subject to mandatory arbitration).

Rules of Arbitration. In addition to requirements imposed by law, any arbitrator shall be a retired state or federal court judge, or licensed attorney with arbitration experience, as mutually agreed to by the parties, and shall be subject to disqualification on the same grounds as would apply to a judge of a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall follow controlling law and issue a decision in writing within 30 days of the arbitration hearing with a supporting opinion based on applicable law. The arbitrator shall apply all statutes of limitation applicable to any dispute. The arbitrator shall apply the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and Texas Rules of Evidence in any arbitration.

Any arbitration will take place in Waco, Texas, and a single arbitrator shall be selected from such city. The arbitrator shall determine the merits of such dispute brought by me or the Club. If there is a dispute as to whether a claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator shall have the authority to make that decision.

Waiver of Jury Trial. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, BOTH I AND THE CLUB GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM EITHER MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

I certify that all information submitted by me on this application is true and complete, and I understand that if I provide any false information, omissions, or misrepresentations, my application may be rejected and if I am employed, my employment may be terminated at any time.

In consideration of my employment, I agree to conform to the Club’s rules and regulations including, but not limited to, all safety and employment policies and procedures, and I agree and understand that my employment is “at-will,” which means that either I or the Club, with or without cause, and with or without notice, may terminate my employment with the Club. I also understand and agree that the Club may change the terms and conditions of my employment, with or without cause and with or without notice, at any time.

I understand that the employer does not unlawfully discriminate in employment and no question on this application is used for the purpose of limiting or excusing any applicant from consideration for employment on a basis prohibited by applicable local, state or federal law.

I acknowledge that this application does not constitute an agreement or contract for employment for any specified period of definite duration. I understand that no Club representative, other than its General Manager, and then only when in a written legal contract signed by the General Manager, has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specific period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing.

I understand that if I am given a conditional offer of employment, a criminal history background check and a substance abuse screen may be conducted on me as a part of the application process. I also understand and agree that the Club reserves the right to rescind my conditional job offer, or where applicable, deny access based on this information.

I understand it is the Club’s policy not to refuse to hire a qualified individual with a disability because of that person’s need for a reasonable accommodation as required by the ADA.

I also understand that if I am hired, I will be required to provide proof of identity and legal authority to work in the United States and that federal immigration laws require me to complete an I-9 Form in this regard.

I understand that if I am hired, I will be required to provide proof of identity and legal work authorization within three (3) days of my start date. I represent and warrant that I have read and fully understand the foregoing and seek employment with the Club under these conditions.
