Q. What recourse do I have if I disagree with a determination?

A.  You may appeal any determination that you believe to be incorrect. An appeal of a determination must be made in writing and must be received or postmarked within seven days after delivery or 10 days after the mailing of the determination. You can file an appeal online at nj.gov/labor or fax to (609) 292-2438

Note: The Appeal Tribunal hearing process was changed during 2017 and now requires parties to register for the hearing. Be sure to carefully read the hearing notice in its entirety and follow instructions. Your failure to follow the instructions in the hearing notice may lead to your appeal being dismissed or you may be denied participation in the hearing.

Q. Who should participate in the appeal hearing?

A. Individuals who have firsthand knowledge of the reason for separation and the company rules should attend.

Note: More weight is given to firsthand evidence and testimony than is given to hearsay or third party testimony. See Chapter II, Section 4.
