Ou dwe kapab, epi ou dwe la, pou pran yon travay tout jounen pandan pifò lè nan semenn nòmal travay ou. Sa vle di ou dwe pare, ou dwe vle, epi ou dwe kapab aksepte travay ou kapab fè nòmalman, epi pa dwe genyen okenn rezon ni sikonstans – kit se pèsonèl, fizik (sòf si ou pa kapab travay paske ou te viktim nan malè ki te rive a), ni okenn lòt pwoblèm ki anpeche w chache oswa aksepte yon travay tout jounen ou kapab kalifye pou li. Yo pral ba ou yon fòmilè pou chache travay, epi ou dwe ekri ladan tout kote ou kontakte pou travay pandan chak semenn. 6.

Ha denne viktige informasjonen som oversatt straks. 1. WHY IS THIS HEARING IMPORTANT? The decision from this hearing will replace the determination that was appealed. Only one hearing level is provided by law. To protect your rights, you must participate even if the other party filed the appeal. If you cannot attend as scheduled, immediately follow the instructions in Section 9 to request rescheduling. Otherwise, you may receive an unfavorable decision. A claimant who receives an unfavorable decision will have to repay benefits that should not have been paid. An employer who receives an unfavorable decision may receive benefit charges that increase the employer’s tax rate or require reimbursement to the trust fund. Be prepared to present evidence on all issues listed on the Notice of Hearing. The decision will be based only on evidence presented at the hearing. A second appeal level exists, but includes only a review of the existing record, not a new hearing. 2. WHY WAS A HEARING SCHEDULED? A hearing was scheduled because an Department determination was appealed. Participating in the hearing is important, even if the other party filed the appeal. 3. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T PARTICIPATE? If the party who filed the appeal participates, a hearing will be held. The decision will be based on the evidence presented. If you don’t participate, your evidence will not be considered. If you filed the appeal and do not participate, your case will be dismissed. 4. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AT THE HEARING? As a party, you have the right to: A. Testify in your own behalf; B. Present documents and other evidence; C. Question your own witnesses; D. Question the opposing party’s witnesses; E. Examine and object to evidence presented; F. Explain or rebut evidence presented; and G. Make a closing statement at the end of the hearing. 5. HOW CAN I ARRANGE FOR WITNESSES? Contact and ask the witness to testify. The best witness is one with personal knowledge of the facts. A witness who was present at an event is much better than one who was told about it by someone else. If possible, you and your witness(es) should be at the same location for the hearing. If a witness cannot be at your location and must be contacted at a different telephone number, provide the witness’ name and telephone number to the deputy clerk whose name and telephone number appear on the Notice of Telephone Hearing. Instruct the witness to be available at the scheduled hearing time and to remain available until dismissed by you or the appeals referee If a witness refuses to testify voluntarily, a subpoena can be requested by writing to the address on the Notice of Hearing. Mail or fax the request as soon as possible, so the subpoena can be served before the hearing. Include the case docket number; the witness’ name, address, and telephone number (if available), as well as a detailed description of any document(s) the witness should furnish for the hearing. 6. HOW DO I PROVE I LOOKED FOR WORK? If the issue is whether you were able and available for work, send a copy of your work search contact sheets to the Appeals Office before the hearing. Include each job contact date and method, as well as each employer contact’s name and address. 7. HOW DO I SHOW I FILED MY APPEAL ON TIME? If the appeal does not appear to have been filed within the time allowed by law, the referee will first take evidence on the timeliness of the appeal. If timeliness is listed as an issue, the person who filed the appeal would be an important witness. The case will be dismissed without competent evidence of timely filing. 8. CAN I WITHDRAW MY APPEAL? The appellant may withdraw an appeal by mail or fax to the Appeals Office address or fax number on the Notice of Hearing or to: Office of Appeals; MSC 347; 107 E Madison Street; Tallahassee FL 32399-4143. Include the claimant's Social Security number and docket number. In most situations, a withdrawn appeal cannot be reopened. 9. CAN I REQUEST A POSTPONEMENT? A postponement may be requested if there is a compelling reason why you cannot participate as scheduled. The request can be made in writing before the hearing or on the record during the hearing. Include the reason you cannot participate and what, if any, attempts you made to re-arrange your schedule so you could participate. The referee will let you know in writing if the request is granted. If a written reply is not received, assume the request was denied. Be available for the hearing and prepared to present your case. 10. HOW CAN I GET A COPY OF THE CASE FILE? 12. SHOULD I HIRE AN ATTORNEY? Copies of all documents available to the referee are enclosed with the Notice of Telephone Hearing. Review and have these documents with you during the hearing. Professional representation is not required and most people represent themselves at unemployment hearings. You have the right to be represented by an attorney or authorized representative at your own expense. Fees for representing a claimant must be approved by the appeals referee, but paid by the claimant. Legal representation may be available through a local Legal Aid Office at reduced or no cost for low-income claimants. For information about hiring an attorney, contact the Florida Bar Association toll-free at 1-800-342-8011. If you hire an attorney or authorize someone to represent you, provide the person’s name, address, and telephone number to the Appeals Office to ensure all notices are sent to that person. 11. WHAT EVIDENCE SHOULD I PROVIDE? The best evidence is testimony from a person who was present at an event and can answer specific questions about what happened. Claimants almost always have first-hand knowledge of the events. Employers should choose witnesses carefully to ensure competent evidence is presented. If a document you previously submitted is not included with the hearing notice, you must send another copy to the hearing officer and all other addresses on the Notice of Telephone Hearing in order to have the document considered. To have documents considered, mail, fax, or deliver a copy of each to the Appeals Office and all addresses on the hearing notice, before the hearing date. Only documents received by all parties can be considered, unless the right to view the documents is waived. All evidence becomes public record when the hearing is convened. Most documents and affidavits are hearsay and may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence or to support a finding if it would be admissible over an ojection in civil actions. Hearsay may support a finding of fact if it meets the statutory requirements set forth in 443.151(4)(b)5, Florida Statutes. The above referenced statute states that hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence, or to support a finding if it would be admissible over objection in civil actions. Notwithstanding s. 120.57(1)(c), hearsay evidence may support a finding of fact if: 1. The party against whom it is offered has a reasonable opportunity to review such evidence prior to the hearing; and 2. The appeals referee or special deputy determines, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that the evidence is trustworthy and probative and that the interests of justice are best served by its admission into evidence. If the hearsay evidence does not meet the statutory requirements, then the evidence may qualify as an exception under the hearsay rule, (see Chapter 90, F.S.). An employer who must rely on business records should provide a witness who can testify how the records were prepared and vouch for their authenticity. Once the hearing is closed, no additional evidence will be accepted. 13. WHAT IF I NEED A TRANSLATOR? The hearing will be in English. Translation will be arranged for claimants who indicate a primary language other than English when filing for benefits. If a translator is needed and the Notice of Hearing does not indicate a translator was arranged, have the deputy clerk contacted at once to advise what language is needed so translation arrangements can be made. The deputy clerk’s telephone number is on the Notice of Hearing. 14. WHAT IF I NEED MORE INFORMATION? The address, telephone, and fax numbers of the Appeals Office where your case was assigned is shown on the Notice of Telephone Hearing, as well as the name of the deputy clerk who should be contacted to provide or receive information. A complete list of Appeals Offices is shown on the last page of this pamphlet. Include the docket number or claimant’s social security number on all correspondence. 15. WHAT ARE THE HEARING PROCEDURES? The appeals referee assigned to the case will: A. Obtain permission to record from each participant and electronically record the hearing. B. Explain the issues, purpose of the hearing, order of testimony, and other procedures; C. Identify the determination on appeal and make known the contents of the case file; D. Place all witnesses under oath or affirmation; E. Question parties and witnesses to obtain the facts; F. Assist parties as they question witnesses; and G. Determine if testimony and documents being offered should be received and considered. DEO Form UCA Bulletin 6E (Rev. 4/12) 16. HOW DO I KNOW THE DECISION WILL BE FAIR? The appeals referee is required by law to be impartial and issue a decision based on competent evidence. The appeals referee is responsible for conducting a fair hearing, questioning the witnesses, and protecting the basic rights of each party. The appeals referee cannot discuss the case with any party before or after the hearing. 17. WHAT IF I MISSED THE HEARING? If you missed a hearing you must exercise due diligence in requesting re-opening. Any request for rehearing must be filed on the Internet at www.floridajobs.org, or by mailing or faxing a written request to the address or fax number on the Notice of Hearing or Decision. No other methods are permitted. Include the Docket Number or the claimant’s social security number and the reason for not attending. Only compelling and necessary reasons constitute good cause. If a rehearing request is granted, you must present evidence of good cause at the new hearing and show due diligence in trying to re-arrange your schedule or requesting postponement. If good cause is not shown, the prior decision will be reinstated. 18. WHEN WILL I RECEIVE A DECISION? A decision will be mailed to all parties as soon as possible after the hearing. The decision will include findings of fact, conclusions of law, and the result, which will affirm, reverse, or modify the determination or dismiss the appeal. 19. WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE DECISION? If you disagree with the decision, you can request review by the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission. Instructions for requesting review are on the decision. Any request for review must be filed within 20 calendar days after the decision was mailed. The Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission will not hold another hearing; its decision will be based on the testimony and other evidence presented to the referee and how the referee used that evidence to reach a decision. Therefore, presenting all of your evidence at the hearing is very important. Upon completing its review, the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission will mail a written order to all parties. If you did not attend the hearing for good cause and received an adverse decision, refer to Section 17 for information about requesting a new hearing. No, except for the claimant’s social security number, appeal information becomes public record when the hearing is convened. Appeals Office Numbers: Addresses, Phone & Fax 21.

Si la apelación no parece haber sido presentada dentro del plazo permitido por la ley, el árbitro tomará primero la evidencia de si la apelación fue presentada dentro del plazo. Si una de las cuestiones listadas es si la apelación fue presentada dentro del plazo, la persona que presentó la apelación será un testigo importante. El caso será desestimado si no hay evidencia competente de que se presentó dentro del plazo. Sí la parte que presentó la apelación asiste, la audiencia tomara lugar. La decisión será basada en la evidencia presentada. Si usted no participa de la audiencia, su evidencia no será considerada. Si presentó la apelación y no participas de la audiencia, el caso será descartado. 3. ¿TENDRÁ LUGAR LA AUDIENCIA SI NO ESTOY AHÍ? Sí, si la parte que presentó la apelación asiste. La decisión será basada en la evidencia presentada. Si Ud. no está allí, su evidencia no será considerada. Si presentó la apelación y no asiste, el caso será desestimado. 4. ¿CUÁLES SON MIS DERECHOS EN LA AUDIENCIA? Como una de las partes, usted tiene el derecho a: A. Testificar; B. Presentar documentos y evidencia adicional; C. Interrogar sus propios testigos; D. Interrogar a la parte opuesta y a los testigos; E. Examinar y declarar objeciones a la evidencia; F. Explicar o refutar evidencia que ha sido presentada; y G. Tomar una declaración final al concluir la audiencia. 5. ¿CÓMO PUEDO DISPONER DE TESTIGOS? Contacte y pida a los testigos que asistan y testifiquen. El mejor testigo es uno que tenga conocimiento personal de los hechos. Un testigo que estuvo presente cuando un hecho ocurrió es mucho mejor que uno a quien alguien contó algo. Si es posible sería mejor que usted y sus testigos estén en el mismo lugar. Si un testigo no puede estar en el mismo lugar que usted y tendremos que llamar a un número de teléfono diferente al suyo, provea el nombre del testigo y el número de teléfono a la oficinista, cuyo nombre y número de teléfono aparece en el Si el tema es si usted está capaz y disponible para trabajar, envié una copia de su registro de búsqueda de trabajo a la Oficina de Apelaciones para la audiencia. Incluya cada fecha de contacto para cada trabajo, y el método, así como el nombre y dirección del contacto de cada empleador. 8. ¿QUÉ SUCEDE SI CAMBIO DE OPINIÓN SOBRE APELAR?

Incluya la razón por la cual no puede participar y qué arreglos has hecho para poder asistir a la audiencia. El árbitro considerará cada solicitud y le hará saber por escrito si la solicitud ha sido otorgada. Si una respuesta no es recibida, suponga que la solicitud no ha sido otorgada. Esté presente en la audiencia listo/a para presentar su caso. 10. ¿CÓMO PUEDO OBTENER UNA COPIA DEL EXPEDIENTE? Copias de todos los documentos disponibles para el árbitro serán enviados juntos con el Aviso de Audiencia. Repase y tenga estos documentos con usted para la audiencia. 11. ¿QUE TIPO DE EVIDENCIA DEBO APORTAR? El mejor tipo de evidencia es el testimonio de alguien que estuvo presente cuando sucedió el evento, y puede responder a preguntas específicas sobre lo que sucedió. Los reclamantes casi siempre tienen conocimiento de primera mano de los asuntos en cuestión. Los empleadores han de elegir testigos cuidadosamente para asegurar que la evidencia presentada sea competente. Si un documento el cual usted previamente nos envió no fue incluido con el aviso de audiencia, envíe otra copia al árbitro de apelaciones y a todas las partes que aparecen en el Aviso de Audiencia Telefónico para que tal documento sea considerado. Para que documentos sean considerados, puedes enviarlos por fax, correo o enviar copias de cada documento a la Oficina de Apelaciones y todas las direcciones que aparecen en el aviso de audiencia, antes de la fecha de la audiencia. Solamente documentos recibidos por todas las partes pueden ser considerados, a no ser que el derecho de examinar los documentos sea renunciada. Toda evidencia llega a ser publica cuando se convoca la audiencia. La mayoría de documentos y declaraciones escritas son rumores y pueden ser utilizados con el propósito de suplementar o explicar otra evidencia o apoyar determinaciones de una cuestión de hechos si es que sería admisible después de una objeción en una acción civil. Testimonio de rumor puede ser utilizado para apoyar hechos si cumple con los requisitos establecidos en 443.151(4)(b)5, Estatutos de la Florida. El estatuto mencionado declara que evidencia de rumor puede ser utilizado para suplir o explicar otra evidencia, o para apoyar determinaciones de una cuestión de hechos si sería admisible en una acción civil. No obstante, 120.57(1)(c), evidencia de rumor puede apoyar determinaciones de una cuestión de hechos si: 1). La parte contra quien es ofrecido tiene tiempo razonable para examinar la evidencia antes de la audiencia; y 2). Si el arbitro de apelaciones determina, después de considerar todos los hechos y circunstancias relevantes, que la evidencia es digna de confianza y probatorio y los intereses de la justicia son servido por introducirlo como evidencia. Si el testimonio de rumor no cumple con los requisitos de los estatutos, en tal caso la evidencia puede calificar bajo la ley de rumor (Vea el Capitulo 90, F.S.). Un empleador que utiliza los archivos del negocio necesita proveer un testigo que pueda testificar en como los archivos fueron preparados y responder por su autenticidad. Cuando se termine la audiencia, evidencia adicional no será aceptada. 12. ¿DEBO DE CONTRATAR A UN ABOGADO? Representación profesional no es requerida. La mayoría de las personas se representan a sí mismas en audiencias de desempleo. Usted tiene el derecho a ser representado por un abogado o representante autorizado a su propia costa.

Representación legal puede ser disponible a través de una Oficina de Ayuda Legal local a costo reducido o gratis para reclamantes con ingresos bajos.

Be prepared to present evidence on all issues listed on the Notice of Telephone Hearing. THE FINAL ORDER WILL BE BASED ONLY ON EVIDENCE IN THE HEARING RECORD. until dismissed by you or the special deputy. A witness who can give a firsthand account of what happened is better than one who presents testimony of what was heard from others. If you believe a party possesses a document that you wish to present as part of your case, contact the party directly and request a copy of the document(s). Upon receipt, mail a copy to the special deputy and all addresses shown on the Notice of Telephone Hearing. Documents or affidavits standing alone are normally hearsay and insufficient to prove a case, unless it meets the statutory requirements set forth under 443.151(4)(b)5., Florida Statutes. If you plan to submit business records in evidence, you should also present a witness who can verify when and how the records were prepared and vouch for their authenticity. After the hearing is closed, the special deputy will not accept additional documents or evidence. 2. WHO ARE PARTIES TO THE APPEAL? The parties to a special deputy appeal include the employing unit (Petitioner), the Department of Economic Opportunity(Respondent), represented by the Department of Revenue, and any claimant whose Reemployment Assistance claim may be affected by the outcome of the appeal (Joined Party). Others may be joined as parties as the special deputy deems appropriate. 6. WHAT IF A WITNESS REFUSES TO TESTIFY? You may request a subpoena for a witness who refuses to testify voluntarily. If a party refuses your request to provide a document copy for the hearing, you may request a subpoena duces tecum for the document. Any request for subpoena must be delivered to the special deputy clerk sufficiently in advance of the hearing date to allow time for the subpoena to be served prior to the hearing. Include on the written request: ♦The docket number assigned to the case; ♦The name and address of any person to whom a subpoena is to be issued; and ♦A detailed description of any document(s) to be furnished by the witness. 3. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON’T ATTEND A HEARING? If the Petitioner does not attend the hearing, the special deputy will recommend that the case be dismissed. If the Petitioner appears, the hearing will be conducted with the parties who attend and the result will be based on the hearing record. 4. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AT THE HEARING?

Question the other parties and witnesses; E. Explain or rebut evidence; F. Make a statement at the end of the hearing; G. Examine and object to evidence presented. 5. HOW CAN I ARRANGE FOR WITNESSES? Notify the witness and arrange for the witness to be present at your location for the hearing. If the witness cannot be present at your location, provide to the special deputy clerk the name of the witness and the telephone number where the witness agreed to be reached for the hearing. Advise the witness to be available 10 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time and remain available 7. HOW CAN I PROVE MY APPEAL WAS FILED ON TIME? The appeal must be filed within the time shown on the determination. If the last day to appeal is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as specified in Section 110.117, Florida Statutes, the appeal time is extended to the next working day (Monday through Friday). If listed as an issue on the hearing notice, timeliness of the appeal will be the first issue addressed by the special deputy. If the issue of timeliness is resolved unfavorably to the Petitioner, the special deputy will adjourn the hearing and recommend that the appeal be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If the appeal is considered timely, the special deputy will complete the hearing and address the remaining issues. When timeliness of the appeal is an issue, the person who actually filed the appeal is an important witness. The case will be dismissed without competent evidence of timely filing. 8. WHAT IF I WISH TO WITHDRAW MY APPEAL? The Petitioner may withdraw an appeal by mail or fax to the Appeals Office address or fax number on the Notice of Telephone Hearing or to: Office of Appeals; MSC 347; 107 E Madison Street; Tallahassee FL 32399-4143.

WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE HEARING? The special deputy will postpone or continue a hearing only for good cause and only if requested in writing prior to the hearing or orally at the hearing. Include the reason for requesting a different hearing date. If requested prior to the hearing, the special deputy will consider the request and immediately notify the parties in writing of the decision. Unless the request is granted, the hearing will proceed as scheduled. If you request a continuance prior to the hearing but do not receive a reply by the date of the hearing, attend the hearing and be prepared to present your case. A party who was unable to participate in the hearing for good cause may make written application for rehearing, stating in detail the reason for not participating. If good cause is alleged and the request is filed within fifteen (15) days of the mailing of the Recommended Order, the special deputy will rescind the Recommended Order and reopen the appeal. At the rescheduled hearing, the party will be required to present evidence to establish good cause for not attending the previous hearing. Good cause is restricted to reasons of a compelling and necessary nature, not of convenience. If good cause is not found, the special deputy will adjourn the hearing and reinstate the Recommended Order. 10. WHAT TYPE OF EVIDENCE SHOULD I PROVIDE? The best type of evidence is testimony from someone who was present when an event occurred and can answer specific questions about what happened. Choose witnesses carefully to ensure competent evidence is presented. 11. HOW DO I OBTAIN AND PROVIDE DOCUMENTS? The Department of Revenue will mail to each party a certified copy of documents from its file regarding the case. To have other documents considered, you must arrange delivery of the document copies to the special deputy and each address listed on the hearing notice prior to the scheduled date of the hearing. Documents which are not available to all parties or their representatives at the hearing will not be considered by the special deputy, absent waiver. The special deputy will consider documents in the case file and those received before or at the hearing. Most documents and affidavits are hearsay and may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence or to support a finding if it would be admissible over an objection in civil actions. An employer who must rely on business records should provide a witness who can testify how the records were prepared and vouch for their authenticity. Once the hearing is closed, no additional evidence will be accepted. 12. DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY? Professional representation at the hearing is not required. You do, of course, have the right to be accompanied, represented, or advised by an attorney or authorized representative at your own expense. Any fees for representing a claimant who is joined as a party must be approved by the special deputy; however, the fee must be paid by the claimant. 13. WHAT IF I NEED A TRANSLATOR? The hearing will be conducted in English. When necessary, the Petitioner and Respondent must provide their own translators. Translators will be provided for claimants who are joined as parties and indicate a primary language other than English. If a translator is needed by a Joined Party and the Notice of Telephone Hearing does not advise that translation is arranged, have the special deputy clerk contacted at once to advise what language is needed so arrangements for translation can be made. The special deputy clerk’s telephone number is on the Notice of Telephone Hearing. 14. WHO SHOULD I CONTACT FOR INFORMATION? The address of the Appeals Office is shown on the Notice of Telephone Hearing, as well as the name, telephone number and fax number of the special deputy clerk who should be contacted to provide or receive information.
