Throughout the years this is what I've Been Told I don't know if it's true or not if the municipality adopted the NEC then it's mandatory for manufacture the follow-up and if an unlicensed person does do electrical work and something happens it could be criminal charges and can the management be held accountable if something happens can they be held accountable for criminal charges and if you don't use listed or label products and something happens the insurance company to refuse to pay thank you for any and all information this is an Elgin Illinois
 
on same note and with punctuation. I am curious about what the legal ramifications are for licensed sparkies who do side work and there is a fire years after, even if not electrical sourced.

As an apprentice, my journeyman warned me that if the insurance or fireman find that sparkies did side work on site, they auto blame it on that side work. Then we lose our state license and open to civil liability.

And another question, if the work done is unpaid, are we still held liable if there are issues?

i suppose it may depend on the state you are in.
