An RME for a contractor company stops actually working for that company but allows the company to keep using his name to maintain the license. This arrangement is:
a.Unlawful, because an RME must be a genuine employee actively supervising the work
b.Lawful, as long as the RME is paid a small fee
c.Lawful, because the company is otherwise properly insured
d.Lawful, provided the RME visits a job site once a year
Explanation
Under §7068, an RME must be a bona fide employee who is permanently employed and actually supervises the contractor's construction operations. Renting out a qualifier's name without genuine involvement is unlawful and can lead to discipline.
