Steve, they had years to figure that out...
kojunho - "how do they regulate the hours you accumalated?"
Right now, it's the honor system..... For the most part. *
"I certify under penalty of perjury that all statements and attachments are true and correct." http://www.dir.ca.gov/DAS/ElectricalCertificationForm.pdf *Although I have heard of people getting thier paperwork sent back requesting refference from thier past employers, but I havent seen that form. But for the most part they do not seem to check these at all.
For ET's it goes one step further and involves an "Optional" portion for the Employer with simular afidavids.
http://www.dir.ca.gov/DAS/ElectricianTraineeNEWRegistration.pdf In other states with simular license to work requirements you need to log your hours and get them approved by whomever is supervising you as part of your apprenticeship. And one could expect that to be the norm as Apprenticeship and the Trainee program become the only entrance to the trade, unless you had your application in before the begining of the year for the 6 month extention. I expect scrutiny to increase soon.
(I have one ET under me, I need to find out what he's doing about that hours thing....)
