What must a salesperson do if they change their employment to a different dealer?

A salesperson in the manufactured housing industry must notify the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR) and submit an application for a new license if required upon changing their employment to a different dealer. This is crucial because licenses are typically tied to the specific dealer with whom the salesperson is affiliated. Changing dealers may present new regulatory obligations, and the LLR needs to keep accurate records of who is licensed under which dealer. Therefore, ensuring that the proper authorities are informed is part of upholding the integrity of the industry and complying with state laws. This process allows for a seamless transition and confirms that the new dealer is aware of the salesperson's licensing status, ensuring that all business conducted is legally sanctioned.

The other options do not align with the regulatory requirements in South Carolina. Simply continuing work without notification could lead to legal consequences for both the salesperson and the dealers involved. Informing only the new dealer does not fulfill the obligated notification to the licensing authority. Transferring the customer list may be a practice in some circumstances, but it does not address the primary requirement of keeping licenses up-to-date with the correct dealer affiliation. Thus, it's essential to follow the proper protocol of notifying LLR and managing licensing correctly when changing employment.
