What a pain in the assessment the Labor Board is. Typically, an employee makes a complaint, and then the Labor Board sends you a notice that a complaint’s been filed.
Then, several weeks later they send you a notice of claimant conference, and you have to show up in front of a deputy commissioner and discuss this claim.
Notice and claims in conference are not as big a deal as you think, the big deal is the hearing if you don’t settle the claim at the notice of claimant conference.
The notice of claimant conference is pretty much like a mediation. You sit in a room with a deputy commissioner and they basically try to get you to work it out.
If you don’t work it out then a hearing is scheduled, usually six to eight months down the road, and then at the hearing that’s the big deal.
That’s where you present evidence and you defend yourself, and if you don’t win that’s where the judgment happens.
