Prevailed on behalf of an employer at a hearing of the Employment Security Commission

KATIE WEAVER HARTZOG (Raleigh) recently prevailed on behalf of an employer at a hearing of the Employment Security Commission when the hearing officer reversed the prior ruling that the former employee was entitled to unemployment benefits.  The hearing officer determined that the former employee should be partially disqualified from benefits because his employment was terminated due to substantial fault on the part of the employee.
