If your next level of appeal is the hearing, make sure to get a copy of the entire appeal file from the appeal's office, either by having them mail you a copy, if there is still time, or by going to the appeal's office and picking up a copy. This is imperative, so you can see all documents, statements and impressions that are in your file and will enable you to prepare for the hearing. Being well prepared to address the issues raised by the employer is key to winning a case.

If you believe you may be intimidated, nervous, or have some difficulty articulating your case, consider hiring an employment law attorney to represent you at the hearing.

Good luck.
