MrElectrician

2 s$ r; T. a2 \1 ~- M- LWe all know that a journeyman electrician (without a master elctrician license) do some side jobs for their friends with some cash sometimes.

  h  _& A1 C+ P, Z# ^Is that legally for a journeyman electrician to do electrical job for a homeowner who pull his own electrical permit?  But he is NOT a licensed elctrical contractor.

2 ]  }) w/ n% B- A: Q: VIf yes, can he be paid, or without paid just like a helper? Kind of a business question.

I would like to have an answer specifying the electrical safety and business regulations or standards.

The work has to be done by homeowner only if it is pulled as a homeowner permit. You may  "provide professional advise/consultation" or "help" him out if he pays you cash without invoices to avoid any possibly trouble in case anything goes haywire in the future.

no. it is illegal!

只有一种情况除外：你是HOMEOWNER的家庭成员而且你的工作是没有任何形式的报酬的！

But I am NOT sure an electrical service company without a master elctrician license can still do the electrical job for the owner while the owner pulls permit and ask for inspection.

: ?4 i8 @7 I' y这里是ALBERTA，法律就是这样规定的“你是HOMEOWNER的家庭成员而且你的工作是没有任何形式的报酬的！除此以外，你不能提供任何形式的帮助和服务。”其实安省也是这样规定的，QUEBEC略微不同些。

HOMEOWNER的PERMIT就是给住在这个地址的OWNER自己工作的，还有许多限制。他不能请自己家庭成员以外的任何电工为他工作。否则以后任何问题，因为不是HOMEOWNER独立完成的，违反了PERMIT的性质，INSURANCE公司会起诉OWNER和电工的，但是OWNER有权利再起诉电工，因为电工承担的是无限责任。

没有别的意思，就是想澄清一下。最近在渡假，回复晚了请见谅

Contractor是有各种保险的，承担的是有限责任；自己出去为HOMEOWNER干活，承担的是无限责任。
