| These Hearings are NOT "Easy" to Win - Your Former Employer Has the Burden of Proof and Knows What to Say and Do Because They Have Done it Many Times Before - Most Employees Have Not! |
Unemployment Appeal hearings before a Referee in Pennsylvania are highly technical proceedings based upon the rules of evidence. They can be worth many thousands of dollars. Employers have been through many such hearings and know what to do. They have lawyers and HR representatives that know exactly what to do.
Do you? Is it worth losing thousands of dollars in critical benefits because you believe that you can figure out what is important and what is not, and how to apply the rules of evidence, against far more learned and experienced opposition?

Do you? Is it worth losing thousands of dollars in critical benefits because you believe that you can figure out what is important and what is not, and how to apply the rules of evidence, against far more learned and experienced opposition?
The answer is: it is very difficult to win an appeal from a Referee Decision - you really only get one bite of the apple - which is at the Referee Hearing! When you appeal to the Board of Review, you do NOT get a chance to fix any mistakes - no new witnesses or evidence to "prove the employer lied." You are bound by the evidence presented at the Referee Hearing, and the Board is often inclined to agree with the Referee's findings concerning the all important matters of credibility!
Things are even trickier now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, because virtually all Appeal hearings are being conducted by telephone. While that makes hiring an attorney easier - because we can charge less since we do not have to drive to and from the Hearing site, there are also some rules that make the Hearings themselves trickier.
That said, the employer has the burden of proof in a willful misconduct hearing and, with good, solid representation you can force the employer to submit only competent evidence, and thus make its job much more difficult. This is how an attorney can be helpful!

This is a very, very common question - especially since the pandemic hit. Since the burden of proof is
on you in such cases, and they are very hard to win for anyone, not having an attorney for a voluntary quit case is nearly the same as waving a white flag. Very, very few people are going to win a quit case without counsel at the Referee Hearing.
