Due to the Coronavirus, Pennsylvania Unemployment Hearings Before a Referee Will in the Foreseeable Future be Conducted Via Telephone
 |
| You Need to be Perfectly Prepared to Win an Unemployment Hearing Before a Referee |
Here are the most important things to bear in mind:
1) In a willful misconduct hearing, the employer has the burden of proof and must establish through competent evidence that the employee was fired due to willful misconduct;
2) the burden of proof may be established only by competent evidence;
3) competent evidence is first hand testimony;
4) hearsay evidence (i.e. written statements, testimony about what someone who is not at the Hearing told or wrote to someone who is at the Hearing) is NOT competent evidence, but will be permitted into the record if the employee does not object to such evidence in a timely fashion.
5) all documents that either party wants to introduce as evidence at the Telephone Hearing must be submitted to the Referee at least five (5) days before the start of the Hearing or it will not be allowed into the record unless the parties should agree to waive the 5-day requirement (don't!!).

Those are the keys in a nutshell! Of course, people speak fast, employers have likely been to many more Hearings than you and the Referees move things along very quickly. So, making timely hearsay objections, which are the key for employees who want to win any sort of Unemployment Hearings, can be extremely challenging.
