Any such motion shall be submitted in writing (i) electronically through the Connecticut Labor Department Leave Complaint and Appeal Portal, (ii) by United States Postal Service to the Connecticut Labor Department Appeals Division with a legible United States Postal Service postmark indicating that within such fourteen (14) calendar day period the motion was placed in the possession of the United States Postal Service for delivery to the Connecticut Labor Department Appeals Division at its mailing address, (iii) by fax, or (iv) in person. If such fourteenth (14) day falls on a day when the Connecticut Labor Department is not open for business, the last day of the fourteen (14) calendar day period shall be extended to the next business day of the department.
