Case context
Engineer F did not disclose the contractor license revocation when completing the employment application or at the commencement of employment. The Board found that this failure undermined the level of trust between the parties and that Engineer F was assumed to have known the employer would have wanted this information before making the hiring decision.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.87
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer F
Obligation statement
Engineer F was obligated to disclose the contractor license revocation at the outset of the employment relationship — before or at the time of hiring — rather than allowing the employer to potentially discover the information through third parties after employment commenced, thereby preserving the foundational trust of the employer-employee relationship.
Temporal scope
At the outset of the employment relationship (application and hiring stages)
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer F is assumed to have realized that the employer would have wanted to know this information before making the decision to hire Engineer F.
Text references
Engineer F is assumed to have realized that the employer would have wanted to know this information before making the decision to hire Engineer F.
in view of the importance of honesty and candor in the performance of engineering services on behalf of an employer or client
it would seem that Engineer F's failure to report the information at the outset of the employer-employee relationship would have the effect of undermining the level of trust that exists between the parties.
