256.7—Hearings; time, date, and location.

(a) If an employee files a timely request for a hearing under § 256.6, the Commission will select the time, date, and location for the hearing. A hearing will be granted on a request for a waiver only if such waiver is provided for by law and if the request, in the judgment of the Chief Financial Officer, raises issues of veracity or credibility of the employee. To the extent feasible, the Commission will select a date and location that is convenient for the employee.
(b) For an employee who resides on the Isthmus of Panama, the hearing will be held in Panama. Hearings may be scheduled in New Orleans or Washington, D.C. for persons not residing in Panama.
