What are the benefits of having a UC eXpress representative attend the hearing with me?
A UC eXpress representative will insure that all pertinent testimony and documentation are presented at the hearing, cross-examine the claimant and make a closing statement, if necessary. This allows the employer witnesses to concentrate on their testimony and not worry about how the hearing is being conducted. A representative is especially beneficial if the employer witnesses have never been to an unemployment hearing before, the separation issue is complex, there will be several people testifying, or the claimant will be represented by an attorney.
