What is the minimum notice period that the Commissioner must give before a hearing?

The minimum notice period that the Commissioner must provide before a hearing is ten days. This requirement is established to ensure that all involved parties have adequate time to prepare for the hearing, allowing for fair representation and the opportunity to gather necessary evidence or witnesses. The ten-day notice is a balance between promptness in handling matters and giving adequate time for preparations, thereby maintaining the integrity and fairness of the process. This timeframe enables both sides to present their cases effectively, contributing to an orderly and just procedure.
