Employment Application
(WA)

Summary

This template is an employment application for use in Washington that gathers information from a job applicant to allow an employer to determine the applicant's suitability for a position. It is intended for private employers. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. This employment application's language has been customized to comply with Washington and federal law. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Employment Application. This template does not cover all local law requirements; thus, you should review relevant local laws.
