Wis. Admin. Code Department of Workforce Development DWD 226.16 - Answer
(1) WHEN REQUIRED. Within 10 days after the
date of a notice of hearing on the merits or by a date set by the
administrative law judge holding the hearing, each respondent shall file with
the department's bureau of hearings and mediation an answer to the allegations
of the complaint upon which there is a finding of probable cause, along with a
certification that a copy of the answer has been sent 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 in the complaint, the respondent shall
so state and this shall have the effect of a denial. Admissions or denials may
be to all or part of an allegation and shall address the substance of the
allegation. Any affirmative defense relied upon by a respondent, including the
statute of limitations, shall be raised in the answer unless it has previously
been raised by motion in writing. Failure to raise an affirmative defense in a
timely answer may, in the absence of good cause, be held to constitute a waiver
of that defense.
