Under subcontracting rules in alarm service work, which statement is true?

• A. You may only subcontract to employees.
• B. Subcontracting is allowed without any license requirements
• C. You cannot subcontract to employees; the subcontractor must have their own license.
• D. You must subcontract only to employees.

Answer: (C)

In alarm service work, any work performed by someone outside your company must be done by a properly licensed contractor. Subcontracting means you bring in an outside person or firm to complete the job, and that outside party must hold their own alarm contractor license. employees of your company aren’t considered separate contractors; they operate under your license and supervision, so you can’t treat them as the subcontractor. This requirement ensures the person doing the work is independently licensed and accountable. That’s why the statement stating you cannot subcontract to employees and that the subcontractor must have their own license is the correct understanding.
