Unemployment Appeal Defense Tips

Summary

In Idaho, only the most recent employer can typically challenge unemployment benefits, and they must prove misconduct. If wrongly accused, you can appeal. Under the Idaho Public Records Act, you have the right to access your personnel file. If your employer refuses, send a written request or contact the Idaho Department of Labor. Even without the file, attend the hearing and use your testimony and daily notes as evidence. Both parties should have access to all evidence before the hearing. Consult a legal professional for advice.
