OXBERGER, Chief Judge
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent.
The claimant did not work overtime because he had not been paid in the past for overtime work. At the Job Service hearing, the employer’s representative, manager Gary Wallace, claimed that Boyd had been paid for overtime in the past, and the time cards would confirm this. However, the time cards were never produced at the hearing or during any part of the appeal despite the claimant’s repeated requests for the cards. Boyd was not represented by an attorney during the proceedings and was never granted his demand the time cards be produced. Instead he presented a pay stub to show he had not been paid for overtime on one occasion. In addition, Wallace made the following written state*3ment prior to the hearing in which he admits Boyd had not been paid for overtime in the past:
I would like to add the times Dan was not receiving pay for overtime because he hadn’t earned it. The job were done in 8 hours. He didn’t have any maint-men (sic) slowing him up so he wasn’t entitled to it.
The claimant explained that on the evening in question he was assigned duties in addition to cleaning vats, and could not clean as many as he otherwise might have been able to.
I believe this case cannot be decided without the production of the time cards. I would remand to the Commission so an order may be made that the cards be produced.
