Chapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section R. 408.7020 - Licensed elevator contractor and elevator contracting company

(1) If an elevator contracting company's ability to apply for permits is based on the qualification of employing an individual who works full-time and is licensed in this state as an elevator contractor, the termination or separation of employment of the licensed elevator contractor must result in the immediate suspension of the elevator contracting company's ability to obtain new permits. An elevator contracting company's ability to request permits remains suspended until another licensed elevator contractor is working full time for the elevator contracting company. Upon separation from the elevator contracting company, the licensed elevator contractor and the elevator contracting company shall each immediately notify the department in writing when the termination or separation of the employment occurs. The notification to the department of a new licensed elevator contractor working for an elevator contracting company must be submitted in writing by the licensed elevator contractor and the elevator contracting company within 5 business days of hiring. Failure to notify the department of separation or hiring may result in a $50.00 fine to be paid by either or both parties found not to have notified the department.

(2) A person serving as the licensed elevator contractor of an elevator contracting company may not concurrently serve as a licensed elevator contractor for another elevator contracting company. A licensed elevator contractor must be employed on a full-time basis by the elevator contracting company for whom the elevator contractor requests permits.

(3) The elevator contracting company and the licensed elevator contractor are jointly and separately responsible for exercising the supervision and control of the elevator operations necessary to secure full compliance with the act, the rules promulgated under the act, and all other laws and rules related to elevating devices.
