The North Carolina-only piece of contractor exam prep — NCLBGC + NCBEEC tier mechanics, NC tax (flat 4.5% income + RMI sales-tax distinction), TWO-track mechanics-lien (Real Property + Funds), NC OSH state plan, Employee Fair Classification Act, and contract specifics. Authored verbatim from N.C. Gen. Stat. + NCDOR + NCBEEC + NCLBGC + NC Industrial Commission primary sources.
“North Carolina's two-track lien system is unique — Lien on Real Property AND Lien on Funds run in parallel. Get both right and you have leverage even on insolvent GCs. Get them wrong and you may forfeit the easier of the two. This module makes both tracks crystal clear.”
