The hearing is tape recorded. Use documents or witnesses to support your facts. Start with the claimant's job title, hours worked per week, wage, date of separation, and how the job ended. End with a description of what caused the job to end. For purposes of this hearing, evidence is the proof you use to establish or disprove the elements of a claim.
Evidence includes documents, videotapes, audio tapes, pictures and witness testimony.
The numbered documents mailed to you with the Notice of Hearing may be used as evidence during the hearing if they are relevant. If you want the Hearing Officer to consider any other document or evidence that was not included with the Notice of Hearing, you must mail copies of the evidence to both the Hearing Officer and the opposing party prior to the hearing. If you do not send a copy of the evidence to the other party, it will not be admitted. The Hearing Officer will not allow repetitive or irrelevant evidence to be admitted into the record. The evidence should have some tendency to prove or disprove an issue of fact in the case.
