    Conditions for Contracting & Volunteering

    For the protection and ensured welfare and safety of ALL participants, it is the policy of the County of Powhatan and the Parks and Recreation Department to conduct a criminal background check on all prospective volunteers and contracted personnel. The background check paperwork should be submitted to Recreation program staff immediately. In signing the separate document the instructor gives the Department permission to proceed with the criminal background check and to take all action necessary to access such information and thereby releasing the County of Powhatan, Parks and Recreation Department, and County of Powhatan employees from any damages or liability resulting from said background check. 

    All instructors and volunteers will undergo verification by the Powhatan County Human Resources Department and the respective Department Director to confirm eligibility. Individuals with prior employment separations from the County that include termination, resignation under adverse circumstances, or other actions that place them in poor standing with the County or Department are not eligible to serve as instructors or coaches.

    Independent Contractor:

    It is understood that the instructor is acting as an independent contractor or volunteer and not an agent or employee of the County of Powhatan or the Department and is therefore not eligible to lay claim to benefits from retirement, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Workers Compensation, or to those benefits reserved for employees of the County of Powhatan or the Department. The instructor is responsible for paying their own medical bills for any personal illness or injuries occurring during their contract term. 

    Assignment:

    The instructor shall not, under any circumstances, obtain a substitute or assign the Contract or its duties without proper written authorization from the Department. Should such authorization be granted, the instructor agrees to inform any substitute or subcontractor of all the stipulations of their contract. It is the responsibility of the instructor to compensate the substitute or subcontractor. 

    Hold Harmless:

    The Instructor agrees to save, defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the County of Powhatan and all of its officers, departments, agencies, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, injuries, actions, fines, penalties, costs (including court costs and attorney's fees), charges, liability, or exposure, however caused, resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with the Instructor's negligent or wrongful acts, errors or omissions in the performance or nonperformance of its work called for by the Contract, including such acts, errors or omissions of Instructor’s employees, servants or agents.
