In the absence of appeal and within ten days after mailing or delivery of notice of decision made pursuant to sections 375-4 and 375-11 to the parties entitled thereto, the director of labor and industrial relations may, for good cause, on the director's own motion or upon application of any interested party reconsider the decision. Upon an application for reconsideration the director shall promptly reconsider the decision or, upon the director's own motion, transfer the application to the labor and industrial relations appeal board. Upon transfer such application shall be deemed to constitute an appeal from the director's decision as of the date of the application.

The appeal board shall hold a full hearing de novo on the appeal and make its decision in writing which shall be filed with the record of the proceedings. The appeal board shall immediately send to the parties and the director a copy of the decision.

(c) Appeals from the appeal board. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the appeal board may appeal therefrom as provided in section 91-14.

(d) Stay of enforcement. In no case shall an application for reconsideration or an appeal to the appeal board or to the circuit court operate as supersedeas or stay unless the director or the appeal board or the circuit court so orders.
