Concurrent hearing values affect the way in which the Industrial Commission's Automated Docketing System (ADS) schedules your hearings.

Concurrent hearing values represent the number of people available to attend hearings, not the number of hearings that you believe you can attend.

ADS will make every attempt to accommodate your concurrent hearing values, but due to statutory time frames, these values may sometimes need to be compromised. Please note, ADS considers concurrent hearing values for only docketing reps.

If no concurrent hearing values are entered, ADS assumes that your firm has 99 people available to attend hearings statewide. Enter your own concurrent hearing values on ICON to reflect the number of people available to attend hearings, not the number of hearings that the available people can cover. This allows ADS to schedule to your actual availability.

Concurrent hearing values are only considered for docketing reps. Your current values (viewable on ICON) are your "preference" when the IC dockets your claims for hearing. Parties are able to manage concurrent hearing values via ICON. The number of concurrent hearing values you select will tell the IC how many people you have available to cover dockets statewide.
