Changes in employment must be reported within 5 days.

• A. Timely notification of job changes
• B. Informed consent for records
• C. Recordkeeping
• D. Authorization to release drug test results

Answer: (A)

Timely notification of job changes is the focus here. In many professional rules for counselors, licensees must keep the licensing board informed whenever their employment or practice setting changes, within a short deadline such as five days. This helps keep the board’s records accurate, ensures appropriate supervision and scope of practice, and supports accountability for where and how you’re practicing.

The other options involve privacy and consent (informed consent for records, authorization to release drug test results) or general recordkeeping. While important aspects of professional practice, they do not address the requirement to notify the board promptly about changes in employment.
