Master license

[MBLES]

i have read a few post but still have a question. If you are a working master meaning not only leasing your license but also working in the field. Can leasing license and working be kept seperate as far negtiation? I would think leasing license and field work are two separate items. Any Thoughts for peope who have been Master of Record or Contract who has leased license? I hope this doesnt violate any Forum Rules. I apologize if it does.

What State are you in? Many states define what you can and cannot do with your license.

Here's how it works in Florida. Your state may vary.

People get licensed.
Companies get qualified.

If you are Bob and you have a license, you can contract for construction work. You can also start a company and qualify that company. Whether you call it Bob's Electric or Martha's Apple Pie Company, as long as you qualify it with that EC license, it can engage in construction contracting. You can qualify Jim's Electric as long as you have constructive control of the operations and make sure Jim's Electric complies with all laws (code compliance, workmen's comp compliance, etc.). You are on the hook for everything Jim's company does. You have to be very careful qualifying someone else's company. You can get burned and it can cost you your licensing privileges for life.

Even though you qualify a company, whether it's your company or someone else's, you can still, as a natural person, engage in construction contracting.

What you can't do is qualify someone else's company and your own company at the same time, because each LICENSED PERSON can only qualify one COMPANY.

So each license can allow one PERSON to engage in construction contracting and allow one COMPANY to engage in construction contracting.

I agree, these are local rules so without a location it can't be answered.

I'm not really sure what you are asking.

When talking about keeping things seperate as far as negotiation for compensation I don't think anyone (government authority) cares very much about how you get paid once minimum wage laws are met. You get to negotiate the best deal you can.

I think that most states will require that you be a full time employee and some even require that you be an officer of the corporation.

You should get % of gross for the license and $/ hr for the time.
