Minnesota Administrative Rules

3310.2910 NOTICE OF HEARING; CONSOLIDATION OF ISSUES.

The notice of hearing must be mailed to each party at the last known address at least ten days before the scheduled date of hearing unless notice is waived by the parties. The notice must state the time, date, and place of the hearing, the name of the unemployment law judge who will hear the case, the issues to be considered at the hearing, and must contain the information required by part 3310.2905, subpart 2, items B to H. If the issue to be considered at the hearing involves ineligibility for unemployment benefits because of a separation from employment, the notice must explain that the parties should be prepared to discuss all incidents that arose during the course of the employment that led to the separation. The parties must also be advised of their right to represent themselves or to be represented by an attorney or other duly authorized representative. Upon the motion of a party to a hearing or on the unemployment law judge's motion, the unemployment law judge may consolidate for hearing issues involving the same parties and may take testimony and render a decision on issues not listed on the notice of hearing if each party is so notified on the record at the hearing and does not object on the record.
