    Default Unemployment Appeal

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: IL
    My employer did not garnish my wages as directed by the state therefore a garnishment was made against the company. As a result of this I was fired, I filed for unemployment but was denied due to misconduct. Per my employer another co-worker told him she handed me the garnishment paperwork she got via fax and I failed to process it, which is not true but since i processed payroll he assumed me guilty but the only proof he has is her word and not anything else. I filed an appeal but wanted to know if hearsay is allowed in an unemployment hearing and what else can I do to prove I was not aware of the garnishment. Thank you for your help

    What hearsay concerns you?

    Administrative appeals often work off of a less than formal record, including written statements. But if your employer needs to present the live testimony of your co-worker, I would not be surprised if your employer does exactly that.

    Well thats the thing I spoke to the co-worker who he said said this and she stated she did not say that but was scared to be a witness in the unemployment appeal in fear of losing her job. Mind you this is a very small company and very hostile work environment. There was no written statement from her, just the owner stating she said that. The hearsay Im concerned about is, is just his statement alone and not hers admissible?
