It just depends on the terms of engagement and the scope of the
assessment. Some companies are funny about social engineering and may
be strongly opposed to having it included in an assessment. Every
company also has different levels of knowledge and ideas about what a
pen-test consists of. Just be sure everything is on paper first before
doing anything.

In my opinion, social engineering is part of any good pen-test.
