Which group is NOT required to be licensed as contractors?

Employees working for a licensee are not required to obtain a contractor's license because they are not the ones directly responsible for the contracting work. In Minnesota, employees are typically working under the supervision of a licensed contractor, and their activities are covered under the contractor's license. As such, there is no need for them to have an individual licensing status; they operate within the framework provided by their employer's license.

In contrast, other groups mentioned do require licensing due to the nature of their work. Those with gross annual receipts of $150,000 or less must be aware of specific thresholds that, when exceeded, require licensure in the construction industry. Specialty contractors who provide more than one skill may also need to be licensed to legally perform their multifaceted work. Roofers are typically required to have a contractor's license as well due to the regulatory requirements surrounding roofing work. Thus, the correct understanding is that employees of licensed contractors do not need a separate license for the work they do under that umbrella.
