I live in Lawrence, MA. I have a friend with a Mass Journeyman's License. We know he cannot employ or partner with another Journyman to engage in the profession.

But can he "contract" with a Master to perform on jobs exceeding his labor capacity? This would be the case where the Master pulls the Permit and supervises his Journeyman but is contracted and paid by the Journyman as a "sub" of a "sub".

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

John

Hello John; Welcome to ET:thumbup:

I think that a master can do this for you for a fee,but he excepting the liability by using his license and Business name.


Here is the rule.

Is this a job where you need more than one apprentice?

How many men will be on this job?
