(A) There is established an Unemployment Compensation Appeal Board, to consist of three members appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council to serve for a period of three years. Members of the first Board of Appeals existing hereunder shall be appointed for the terms of one year, two years, and three years respectively, and annually thereafter one member shall be appointed for the term of office of three years. It shall be the duty of the Board to review redeterminations and decisions of the Administrator pertaining to the unemployment compensation system, provided that a claim of appeal is filed within 15 days of a decision or redetermination. The time to file a claim of appeal shall not begin until an employee has been notified in writing of his right to appeal. (‘83 Code, § 38.13)
(B) The Appeal Board may on its own motion affirm, modify, set aside, or reverse any decision or order on the basis of the evidence previously submitted in a case, or may direct the taking of additional evidence, or may permit any of the parties to a decision or order to initiate further appeals before it. The Appeal Board shall promptly notify parties of its findings and decisions and its reasons therefor, but it may omit the giving of any reasons if the previous order, decision, or determination is affirmed without any alteration or modification. (‘83 Code, § 38.14)
