Determination of adequacy of the employer’s response

An employer's written response to notice of a predetermination hearing must contain adequate information to be considered a timely response within the meaning of Section 31-241. To be considered adequate, an employer's written response must specify the reason for the separation, and (b) answer, in good faith, the questions corresponding to the appropriate separation issue, either by completing the appropriate areas of the questionnaire provided to the employer with the predetermination hearing notice or by submitting relevant alternate documentation, or both. The Administrator shall determine whether an employer's written response is adequate. So long as an employer substantially complies with (a) and (b) above, the Administrator shall determine that an employer's written response is adequate, regardless of the quality and content of such response.
