Apprentice denied employer affidavit allowed to sit for registered exam after board review
Summary
A teleconferenced apprentice provided rent receipts and records after her employer refused to sign an 18-month affidavit; the Board unanimously allowed her to qualify for the registered exam.
Heather Ellefson appealed the Board's apprenticeship-related affidavit requirement after her barbershop owner refused to sign paperwork certifying 18 months of work. Ellefson provided receipts and records showing she paid rent and worked in the shop for 18 months; Mr. Azzam moved to allow her to qualify for the registered exam, Mr. Green seconded, and the Board approved unanimously.
Board members said they relied on the documentary records she provided rather than the unsigned affidavit from the shop owner. Ellefson participated by teleconference and the minutes note her records were reviewed before the motion. The Board's action allows her to pursue the registered license exam once staff completes the administrative processing.
