§ 7121 License Denial And Revocation

Key Takeaways

  • •If your license is taken away or denied (not just because you didn’t have enough experience), you can’t be a boss or manager in a company that needs that license.
  • •If you worked at a company that lost its license because of bad actions, and you knew about or did those bad actions, you can’t be a boss or manager in another company with that license.
  • •A company can get in trouble if they hire someone like this as a boss or manager, unless they hire them as a regular worker who doesn’t supervise anyone.

Example

A construction company loses its license because they kept breaking safety rules, and the manager knew about it but didn’t stop it.

That manager can’t go work as a manager at another construction company. If another company hires them as a manager anyway, that company could get in trouble too.
