Wis. Admin. Code Department of Workforce Development DWD 223.12 - Answer
(1) WHEN REQUIRED. Within 14 days after the
date of a notice of hearing on the merits, each respondent shall file with the
hearing section of the division an answer to the allegations of the complaint
upon which there is a finding of probable cause, along with a signed document
indicating that a copy of the answer has been mailed to all other
parties.
(2) CONTENT OF ANSWER. The
answer shall contain the respondent's current address. It shall also contain a
specific admission, denial, or explanation of each allegation of the complaint.
If the respondent is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a
belief as to the truth of an allegation, the respondent shall so state and this
shall have the effect of a denial. Admissions or denials may be all or part of
an allegation, but shall fairly meet the substance of the allegation. Any
affirmative defense relied upon, including the statute of limitations, shall be
raised in the answer unless it has previously been raised by a motion in
writing. Failure to raise an affirmative defense in the answer may, in the
absence of good cause, be held to constitute a waiver of such a
defense.
