Within 20 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Director shall issue his or her written findings to the parties. The policy will remain in force until the Director has given his or her findings. If the Director finds for the employer, he or she shall order the assigned carrier to rescind its notice of termination. If the Director finds for the assigned carrier, he or she shall order that the termination be effective 30 days from the date of his or her order. The assigned carrier is entitled to a premium for any extension of coverage and the extension shall be contingent upon the payment of the premium.
