http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Post-HireMaterialQualificationChangeNotificationObligation
Applied to
XYZ Consultants employment relationship and PE licensure timeline condition
Balancing with
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Honesty in Professional Representations
Concrete expression
One month after starting work, Engineer Intern A disclosed to his supervisor that his third PE exam attempt had failed and that the State X licensing board required additional experience and new references before he could re-sit — a disclosure that was ethically required but came after the employment relationship had already commenced under false pretenses
Confidence
0.87
Importance
high
Interpretation
Engineer Intern A's post-hire disclosure, while ethically required and to his credit, reveals that the employment was already underway before the employer learned of the material qualification gap; the principle requires that such disclosures be made promptly upon learning of the material change, which in this case occurred when exam results were released
Invoked by
Engineer Intern A PE Exam Disclosure Engineer Intern
Tension resolution
Engineer Intern A fulfilled the post-hire notification obligation by disclosing the failure promptly upon learning of the results; the more significant ethical question concerns the pre-employment omission that preceded this disclosure
