A corporation applying in 2026 wants to name an RME as its qualifier. He worked as a journeyman electrician from 2013 to 2016, and as an electrical foreman from 2020 to 2025. He will work 30 hours a week for the corporation, which is open 40 hours a week. Where does the application stand?

Explanation

Run the two conditions separately. Experience: four full years at journey level, as a foreman, supervisor or contractor in the classification, within the ten years immediately before the application. The 2020 to 2025 foreman years are five years inside that window, so the experience test passes on its own. Actively engaged: for an RME the statute means 32 hours a week, or 80 percent of the hours the business operates, whichever is less. Eighty percent of 40 is 32, so the threshold is 32 hours and a 30-hour week falls short.
