Sec. 2203. Service
of notice-Place of hearing-By whom conducted.
Whenever service of notice is required by Sections 2200 or 2201, such
notice shall be deemed to have been served when deposited with the United
States certified or registered mail addressed to the employing unit at its
principal place of business, or its last known place of business or
residence, or may be served by any person of full age in the same manner as
is provided by statute for service of process in civil cases. If
represented by counsel in the proceedings before the Director, then service
of notice may be made upon such employing unit by mailing same to such
counsel. If agreed to by the person or entity entitled to notice, notice may be given and completed electronically, in the manner prescribed by rule, by posting the notice on a secure web site accessible to the person or entity and sending notice of the posting to the last known e-mail address of the person or entity. All hearings provided for in Sections 2200 and 2201 shall be held
in the county wherein the employing unit has its principal place of
business in this State, provided that if the employing unit has no
principal place of business in this State, such hearing may be held in Cook
County, provided, further, that such hearing may be held in any county
designated by the Director if the petitioning employing unit shall consent
thereto. The hearings shall be conducted by the Director or by any
full-time employee of the Director, selected in accordance with the
provisions of the "Personnel Code" enacted by the Sixty-Ninth General
Assembly, by him designated. Such representative so designated by the
Director shall have all powers given the Director by Sections 1000, 1002,
and 1003 of this Act.
