Decision question
After being hired without disclosing the contractor license revocation, should Engineer F proactively inform his employer of the revocation, or remain silent unless the employer independently discovers it?
Focus
Engineer F's decision whether to proactively disclose the contractor license revocation to his employer after being hired, given that the omission on the employment application created a materially incomplete record and the NSPE Code's faithful agent and trustee duty imposes a continuing obligation of candor throughout the employment relationship.
Option1
Voluntarily inform the employer of the contractor license revocation after being hired, acknowledging the omission on the application and providing full context, thereby fulfilling the continuing faithful agent and trustee duty of candor before the employer discovers the information independently.
Option2
Treat the employment application as a closed transaction and remain silent about the contractor license revocation unless the employer directly asks about it, on the ground that the application question defined the scope of required disclosure and no new triggering event has arisen post-hire.
Option3
Defer disclosure until assigned to a project in the fire protection or life-safety domain, at which point the domain-relevance of the prior revocation creates an unambiguous triggering event that makes the continuing faithful agent duty concrete and disclosure clearly required.
