Work at Home Positions

All "work at home" and/or "home-based" positions must be clearly advertised as such. The job description for any position in which the potential employee, trainee, or contractor is likely to work from home must contain wording that clearly identifies the position as being a "work at home" or "home-based" position or opportunity. Failure to accurately identify a position as such will result in the removal of the offending company's job postings from the WorkConnecticut.com website, and the offending company may be prohibited from accessing the WorkConnecticut.com website.

Positions Requiring an Up Front Fee

All positions which require the potential employee, trainee, or contractor to pay an up front fee in order to apply, become trained, or obtain materials necessary for the advertised position must clearly identify in the job description the existence and nature of this fee. For example, "All applicants will be charged a fee to cover the costs of books and training materials for this position." Failure to accurately disclose the existence and nature of an upfront fee will result in the removal of the offending company's job postings from the WorkConnecticut.com website, and the offending company may be prohibited from accessing the WorkConnecticut.com website.

Advertising Multiple Job Openings on One Job Posting

WorkConnecticut.com only allows the advertising of one open employment position per job posting. If you have multiple open positions that you wish to advertise, you must use a unique job posting for each of those open positions. For example, it is not acceptable to submit a single job posting that advertises both an "inside sales rep" position and an "accounts receivable" position. Job postings that advertise more than one open position will be removed from the WorkConnecticut.com website.

If you are hiring multiple people for the same position, this may be referenced in your job posting. For example, it is acceptable to state that you "have openings for 4 inside sales reps."

User authentication on the Internet is difficult, and WorkMetro Inc. cannot and does not confirm that Users of the WorkConnecticut.com website are truthful about their identities. Because we do not and cannot be involved in User-to-User dealings or control the conduct of our Users, in the event that You have a claim or dispute against or with one or more Users, You release WorkMetro Inc. (and our agents, officers and employees) from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dealings, conduct, claims or disputes. If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
