This is an issue coming up in several cases - the difference between the law and rules regarding a Claimant's request for a hearing and an Employer's request for a hearing.
Let me first begin with the FAQ from the Appeal Board website:
"INFORMATION ABOUT UI HEARINGS:
How do I ask for a hearing if I disagree with a NOTICE OF DETERMINATION on unemployment benefits?
The NOTICE OF DETERMINATION tells you how to ask for a hearing. Fax or mail a request for a hearing to the address indicated on the NOTICE OF DETERMINATION. Your request must be postmarked or faxed within 30 days after the determination is mailed to you. A hearing will not automatically be set up if you don’t ask for one.
Who can ask for a hearing?
A claimant or employer who is affected by the determination can ask for a hearing. Under the law, charges for benefits are shared by all employers of the claimant in the base period. That is why employers who are not the last employer may also ask for a hearing. If a claimant receives a Notice of Hearing, he or she should attend to preserve any rights to benefits."
