I recognize that differences possibly may arise between Willow Oaks Country Club and me during my application or employment with Willow Oaks Country Club.

Willow Oaks Country Club has an effective Open Door Policy, and I will try to take advantage of it where feasible. I understand, however, that not all issues can be resolved using the Open Door Policy.

I agree that I will first attempt to settle any and all previously unasserted claims, disputes, or controversies arising out of or relating to my application or candidacy for employment, employment and/or cessation of employment with Willow Oaks Country Club, by mediation before a neutral mediator. By way of example only, such claims include claims under federal, state and local statutory or common law, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, including the amendments of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

lawsuit or first attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation.

I understand that I still may file administrative charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or similar federal, state or local agency, but that upon receipt of a right-to-sue letter or similar administrative determination, I will first attempt to resolve any
claim that I may have against Willow Oaks Country Club through mediation.

I understand that I must submit a request for mediation within 180 days of the day on which I learned or. through reasonable diligence, should have learned that my legal rights were violated.

I understand that my employment, compensation, and terms and conditions of employment can be altered or terminated, with or without cause, and with or without notice, at any time, at the option of either Willow Oaks Country Club or myself. I understand that only the Club executive has the authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specific duration or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing.
