Applicant's Statement

The information provided on this form is, to the best of my knowledge, accurate and complete. I would like to be considered for the position of “Tester” for Legal Aid of Arkansas. I understand that this application is not for a full of part-time position, and because of the nature of discrimination testing, participation in tests cannot be guaranteed.

I understand that the nature of the relationship between me and Legal Aid of Arkansas shall remain that of independent contractor and nothing in this document shall be construed as creating the relationship or employer and employee. I understand that I will not be eligible to participate in any employee benefit programs of Legal Aid of Arkansas or receive any other benefit or compensation benefits. I also understand that Legal Aid of Arkansas will not pay or withhold any monies for taxes or insurance of any kind, including but not limited to FICA, state and federal income taxes, unemployment compensation and workers’ compensation coverage. The payment of any and all taxes shall be my sole responsibility. I also understand that I do not have the authority to enter into any contract or agreement on behalf of Legal Aid of Arkansas or otherwise bind Legal Aid of Arkansas and that I shall not represent to anyone that I have such authority.

Testers will be paid a stipend after completion of each test. I understand that I am expected to participate fully in training sessions and perform tests in accordance with the training I receive, the Fair Housing Tester Manual and any instructions I receive from the Testing Coordinator. I understand that I must complete the tests that I accept and that after I complete the debriefing associated with a test, I will receive and undisclosed amount decided by the Testing Coordinator. I understand that I will not be paid unless I follow the procedures set forth in the tester agreement.

I understand and acknowledge that as a tester I may undergo a criminal background check. I acknowledge that refusal to consent to a criminal background check may result in my not being trained and utilized as a tester, or may result in termination from the Project.
