My own post pointed that out about your own comment. His employer is not licensed, and by law they are suppose to be.
So therefore, your statement would be wrong until Joe works with an actual licensed Plumber business. The law also states PLUMBERS have to be licensed.
If this is true about what you say Joe is a apprentice Plumber and is going to take the exam, then he needs to do that. Until then, he is not a licensed plumber and therefore he can not work for a living as a plumber legally where he works now.
Simple concept no?
Electrician & Plumbing "apprentices" have to be supervised by a licensed person on the job--period. There is no in between. If caught working by themselves on the job, the employer can be fined & other measures by the state regulatory board can be started.
There is an easy way to do this: Go to the State of Ohio--department of regulatory agencies--then go to plumbing board. Type in the last name of Joe's employer. His name should come up as a licensed master plumber & then from there you should be able to find the name of his business.
It's the state that regulates plumbing & electrical contractors. Should these contractors work in a certain "county" they must "register" with the county. If they do not work within certain counties--"they are not required to register within that county".
I'll bet my last dime, that Joe works for a company that is not in Lucas county & or they do not work in Lucas county, therefore they have not registered with them.
We work in 5 different counties, so we're registered with 5 counties. I believe Colorado has more than 20 counties, but we won't register until we have a job in those counties.
I now hope I have explained this to everyone interested.
