You need to run this past FL dept of labor or equivalent  or federal
wage and hour  division.
because there may already be case law which decides these things  in
your state.
Trade license could go either way.
Its like the CDL license some company's will pay for you to get and
maintain it some will not.  depending if full/part time  paid by load
or by hour etc.
