The appeal shall be heard by the Board after notice to the claimant and his or her last employer, within a reasonable time after notice of the appeal is filed, and the Board may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the referee solely on the basis of evidence in the record transferred to it by the referee, or upon the basis of evidence in the record and such additional evidence as it may direct to be taken. Upon motion made by the Commissioner, a review may be initiated by the Board of a decision of the referee or a benefit determination.

The decision shall be final unless an appeal to the Supreme Court is taken.
