Witnesses may be presented by either the claimant, the employer or the Deputy. Arrangements should be made immediately to ensure the availability of any witness whose testimony is necessary for resolving the issues in the case. If witnesses refuse to appear, the Unemployment Compensation Law provides for the issuance of subpoenas at the direction of the appeals examiner, to compel the attendance of witnesses and/or the production of records and other documents. Requests for subpoenas should be made immediately to the Appeal Tribunal or the appeals examiner assigned to the case.
