Additionally, any student providing representation must be sure to inform the Board and/or WCAT if they are no longer representing a client. Section 6.3.1 of the MRPP establishes a presumption in WCAT that a worker’s representative will remain as representative until they either declare otherwise or at the end of 2 years, whichever is earlier.
