A person is mandated to preform CPR if it is a part of their job responsibility (whether paid or volunteer and they are on the job. For example, I was on the Ski Patrol (unpaid) and when I was on duty I was mandated to perform CPR if required.

To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum. For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
