(1) The department may find that good cause exists in certain situations when the employer fails to respond due to an unforeseen event outside of the employer's or employer's agent's control, such as:
(a) The death or serious illness of the
employer. "Serious illness" includes a request from a medical professional,
local health official, or the Secretary of Health to be isolated or quarantined
as a consequence of an infection from a disease that is the subject of a public
health emergency, even if you or your immediate family member have not been
actually diagnosed with the disease that is the subject of a public health
emergency;
(b) Destruction of the
employer's place of business or business records not caused by, or at the
direction of, the employer or the employer's agent;
(c) Fraud or theft against the
employer.
(2) The employer is responsible to provide all pertinent facts and evidence or documentation for the department to determine good cause.
