Rule 19. If a business entity requests a determination by the director whether 1 or more individuals performing service for the entity in this state are in covered employment, under section 161(n) of the act, MCL 418.161, and Executive Reorganization Order 2019- 3(7)(l)(5), MCL 125.1998, unless the issue is already pending before the board of magistrates, the director shall issue a determination of coverage of service performed by those individuals and any other individuals performing similar services under similar circumstances. The request must include the names and addresses of all those known to be impacted by the determination. The agency shall provide written notice to all identified individuals and provide an opportunity to be heard prior to making a determination. The business entity seeking the determination shall notify any carrier that might be impacted, and prominently post, at the business site, notice of any hearing on the request. Any decision rendered pursuant to this rule is not binding on an individual who did not receive notice or was not performing services for the business entity at the time of the closing of proofs.
