Boards of Referees Policy and Administration Pursuant to section 111 of the Employment Insurance Act and section 78 of the Regulations

6. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTATION

(1) When the appropriate Commissioner has been notified by the Appeals Directorate that a vacancy exists on an employer or insured persons panel, the Commissioner will solicit nominations. The candidate will be asked to provide a curriculum vitae.

Once a candidate is deemed to meet the eligibility criteria, a copy of these guidelines will be sent to the candidate along with the undertaking form which will have to be completed (Appendix B attached).

(2) When a vacancy for a chairperson occurs, the Appeals Directorate will ask the Minister's Office to nominate a candidate. The candidate must provide the answers to the Employment Insurance Boards of Referees Questionnaire, a signed Statement of Impartiality, as well as a completed, signed and dated Undertaking for Chairpersons (Appendix C attached).

6.1 Board Centre reporting

As already described herein, the Board Centre will send narrative reports and supporting documentation to the regional office when problems occur regarding the smooth operation of the Board Centre.

There is no longer a requirement to submit any type of quarterly report. However, records should be maintained in order to promptly and accurately respond to inquiries made by the Minister's Office, the Offices of the Commissioners, and the Appeals Directorate. Computer records are recommended for this purpose.
