Unemployment compensation is usually paid on the basis of wages earned in the "base period", which is generally the first 4 quarters of the last 5 quarters of wages completed. A "base period employer" is one you worked for in that period, who's account would be charged by the unemployment office through unemployment taxes. There could be more than one employer with that designation, depending on how many you worked for. Employers pay smaller taxes if their turnover rate is low as an incentive to retain employees.

In California if you fire an employee after one week do they get unemployment?
It depends on their prior work history. Unemployment looks at a 12-month "base" period, so it depends on how much they worked during that 12-month base period. It does not have to be for a single employer. The base period has a specific calculation. If the employee was let go in Jan, Feb, or Mar 2010, for example, the EDD would look at the wages earned during Oct 2008-Sept 2009. (Yes, believe it or not!)
Can an employer force you to relocate 3 times within an 8-month period?
Well they can, but then they're not a very good employer.
How many hours are to be worked in a probation period?
It's up to the employer.
When you have worked for 3 weeks for an employer and he lets you go can you collect unemployment from the prior employer?
Yes, providing you were eligible for unemployment for the base period (the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters). When you file, the state's investigator will check your work history to determine, collectively, whether you're eligible.
Do you collect from your last employer?
You collect from the state you work in. The state evaluates all your earnings in the base period and decides which or how many employers would be charged against and the accumulative wages are used to determine the amount of your benefits.
Who pays for unemployment insurance when the last company is out of business?
The state you work in pays your benefits. The state collects its funding from the employer's payroll taxes. The last employer is generally the one charged with your benefits, unless there was not enough, in which case the state looks to your total earnings from all employers during your base year period.
Can employees pay be changed from weekly to monthly?
Yes. This is not an unequivocal "Yes" if there is a collective bargaining agreement in place between employer and a union representing the employees. If that agreement calls for weekly salary payments, the employer would be prohibited by contract from changing the pay period. The employer could go to the union and ask that it agree to a change in the contract pay period, but the union would have to agree. Of course, when the contract expires, the employer can demand a change in the pay period, but that will then become an issue for the new contract negotiation. If the contract requiring a weekly pay period is no longer in effect and if the employer insists on a monthly pay period, the union might refuse to accept that condition and go on strike.
Can you refuse to work a notice period after resigning?
You do not have to serve your notice period, but your employer will probably give you an indifferent reference. Will your next employer be concerned that you may do the same thing again? If you can serve your notice, do it. You will be glad you did in the months and years to come.
