§ 28-40-7 Appeals to board of review.
–
Any employer, employee, or other person aggrieved by any decision of fact or
law by the director as to his, her, or its liability to make contributions or
to withhold and pay contributions, or as to the amount of contributions due
from or to be withheld and paid by him, her, or it under chapters 39 – 41
of this title, or by any refusal of the director to grant a refund or credit
under § 28-40-6, may, either on behalf of himself or herself, or on behalf
of his or her employees or other persons aggrieved by the decision, or on
behalf of both himself or herself and those employees or persons, within
fifteen (15) days after notice of the decision has been mailed to his, her, or
its last-known address, file an appeal in writing with the board of review,
setting forth the grounds for the appeal. If an appeal is duly filed, the board
of review shall set a time and place to give the appellant an opportunity to
show cause as to why the decision of the director should be changed. Following
that hearing, the board of review shall, as promptly as possible, notify the
appellant and the director of its decision on the appeal. The decision shall
become final unless the appellant or the director files an appeal to the courts
in accordance with §§ 28-41-26 – 28-41-29.
