Wis. Admin. Code Department of Workforce Development DWD 140.08 - Postponement of hearings
(1) A party who
requests a postponement of a hearing shall notify the hearing office as soon as
the party becomes aware that a postponement is necessary. Unreasonable delay in
requesting a postponement may be the basis for denial of the request.
(2) No postponements may be granted for the
mere convenience of a party. All parties are expected to arrange time off from
their everyday affairs, including management duties, work, and school, to
attend hearings. The hearing office or the appeal tribunal scheduled to conduct
the hearing may grant a postponement only for an exceptional reason. An
exceptional reason may include any of the following circumstances:
(a) Serious illness of a party or a necessary
witness.
(b) Death of an immediate
family member of a party or a necessary witness.
(c) Weather conditions on the day of the
hearing which make it hazardous for a party or a necessary witness to travel to
the hearing location.
(d)
Transportation difficulties arising suddenly which prevent a party or a
necessary witness from traveling to the hearing location.
(e) A business meeting of a necessary witness
which was scheduled before receipt of the hearing notice and cannot be
rescheduled.
(f) Commitment of a
representative which was scheduled before being retained and which cannot be
rescheduled, if the party contacted the representative within a reasonable time
after receipt of the hearing notice.
(g) An unavoidable delay on the day of the
hearing which prevents the appeal tribunal from conducting the hearing as
scheduled.
