8 AAC 61.175 - Pleadings and parties
(a) Not later than 30 days after receipt by
the department of a timely notice of contest, if the matter has not been
settled or otherwise resolved, the department will file a complaint with the
board. The complaint must specify the alleged violations, proposed penalties,
and abatement dates that are contested. A copy of the complaint must be mailed,
electronically delivered, or personally delivered to the party filing the
notice of contest and to all parties of record.
(b) Not later than 30 days after receipt of
the department's complaint, the party against whom the complaint was issued
shall file an answer with the board. The answer must contain a statement
responding to the allegations in the department's complaint and must include
any affirmative defenses known to the party. A copy of the answer must be
mailed, electronically delivered or personally delivered to the department and
to all parties of record.
(c) An
employer, affected employee, or authorized employee representative, who has not
filed a notice of contest, may participate as a party in the proceedings before
the board by filing a written notice of participation with the board at least
20 days before the hearing. The notice of participation must contain the name,
address, and telephone number of the employer, affected employee, or authorized
employee representative requesting to participate as a party and must be
mailed, electronically delivered or personally delivered to all parties of
record. Failure to give notice of participation as a party does not prevent an
employer, affected employee, or authorized employee representative, from
attending the hearing or testifying as a witness for a party to the
hearing.
(d) A party may appear in
person or through an attorney. The board may allow a person who is not an
attorney to assist a party, for no compensation, in the presentation of the
party's case. A corporation may be represented by an authorized officer or
agent.
