Decision question
After being hired without disclosing the contractor license revocation, should Engineer F proactively disclose the revocation to his employer, or maintain silence on the grounds that the application process has concluded and no new triggering event has occurred?
Focus
Engineer F's continuing post-hire obligation to disclose the contractor license revocation to his employer once hired, given that the employment relationship activates a faithful agent and trustee duty that independently requires candor regarding material adjudicated integrity findings, and that silence in the face of a known material omission compounds rather than cures the original ethical breach.
Option1
Voluntarily disclose the contractor license revocation to the employer after being hired, recognizing that the faithful agent and trustee duty creates a continuing obligation of candor and that silence in the face of a known material omission compounds the original ethical breach.
Option2
Defer disclosure unless and until assigned to fire protection or contractor-adjacent projects where the revocation becomes directly operationally relevant, treating the post-hire obligation as triggered only by a new circumstance that makes the prior revocation material to current duties.
Option3
Treat the employment application process as the exclusive disclosure window and maintain silence post-hire, on the grounds that no new triggering event has occurred, the question was answered as posed, and the employer bears responsibility for any informational gap created by its own narrow drafting.
