You should know that if you were denied benefits based on California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1256 (this is the most common basis for denials), your employer will likely be at your hearing along with a representative. Your employer will be able to introduce any documents into evidence as well as present testimony from witnesses such as your former supervisor or co-workers. It will be in the judge’s discretion to determine which and what testimony to allow based on its relevance to your case.

 

Regardless of whether you have a representative, you will be forced to answer both the judge’s as well as your most recent employer’s questions.
