DWC will schedule a BRC within 40 days of getting a complete request, or within 20 days (expedited) if DWC determines that the BRC needs to happen sooner.
Reschedule: if you file a request within 10 days of receiving notice of the BRC, it will be approved if there have been no other requests to reschedule by either party.
Cancel: requesting to cancel a BRC may be considered a withdrawal of the dispute, which can cause serious legal problems with your case.
In-person BRC: BRCs are held virtually, unless good cause is shown for an in-person BRC.
Information: you must share information about a dispute with the other parties before a BRC.
Accommodations: DWC will provide accommodations to parties who qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
