Me and my new employer seem to have come to an impass.
I just recently passed my NREMT on the 22nd of august, and sent in the paperwork to receive my Illinois basic license. I just started working for a non emergency private and yesterday was my first day, all i did was ride along with the crew. i thought this was pretty standard. Today I was sent out with just a partner to do our own runs. i felt like this didn't seem right since i hadn't even received my state license. I'm fairly certain that Illinois REQUIRES a state license. feeling off i decided to call and check on the status, and the dept of public health told me over the phone that it was processing, and that it could take 2 or 3 more weeks for it to come in the mail. We then called our manager and he was"POSITIVE" that as long as it is processing you can work. Does anyone have any knowledge of a situation like this, or preferably a better idea on the law itself. I would much rather not deal with felony charges of practicing without a license.
