If a party notifies the Department that either the time or place designated by the Department is not convenient and requests a different time or place for the fair hearing, the hearing officer shall designate another time or place convenient to the parties, if he considers that the party has sufficient reason for requesting the change. If the appellant is employed during the periods when fair hearings are normally held, the hearing officer shall schedule the hearing so that the appellant will not be required to miss employment.
