If you are appealing an adverse decision concerning your unemployment claim the appeal is based upon a perceived error of law at the administrative hearing level where the file at the time the hearing was made is reviewed from scratch.
As such, if the former employer did not present any documents as to your unemployment claim at the hearing level then he or she does not need to do so if you file an appeal as to any adverse decision against you for unemployment benefits.
