Generally, no. Most states regulate the "practice" of doing electrical work for others, and an employee would almost certainly be practicing the trade of electrician, and would thus need a license if not a building permit (which may or may not require an official inspection, depending upon what the work is, and whether the jurisdiction inspects such work).

On the other hand, some states permit a homeowner to do minor Plumbing or electrical work without a license, although a permit may be required.

Finally, some jurisdictions don't care who does the work until someone gets killed because of a mistake, and the answer to your question would be "yes, but they had better clear it with their insurance company."
