Witness Testimony. When appropriate, agency employees may be requested by the appellant to serve as witness. These employees will generally be made available for appeal hearings. Witnesses may also be required to attend a proceeding as a witness by subpoena if the agency determines the requested witness will not testify at a NAD hearing. Employees who receive a request to testify at an appeal hearing or are subpoenaed must immediately notify their supervisor and the STC or designee. The employee may not provide any statements to the NAD hearing officer or the appellant without the prior knowledge and consent of the STC.
