Case context
Engineer X voluntarily resigned with two weeks notice. Engineer Z continued distributing brochures and firm resume. The non-key-employee status and non-significant hydrology percentage are the critical facts that distinguish this case from BER 83-1 (where Engineer A was a key employee) and condition the permissibility analysis.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.83
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer Z (principal, Firm Y)
Obligation statement
Engineer Z was obligated to recognize that continued distribution of Firm Y's existing printed brochures listing Engineer X during the two-week notice period was conditionally permissible — given Engineer X's non-key-employee status and the non-significant percentage of hydrology work — provided Engineer Z did not affirmatively represent Engineer X as available for future work and took expeditious corrective steps upon actual departure.
Temporal scope
During the two-week notice period; obligation to correct arises upon actual departure
Source Evidence
