In the case of retail consignment or sales consignment (often just referred to as a consignment), goods are sent to the agent for the purpose of sale. The ownership of these goods remains with the sender. The agent sells the goods on behalf of the sender according to instructions.
The base period is set by law and will not change during the life of your unemployment claim. Your base period earnings determine the number of weeks ranging from 12 to 26 that you may receive benefits. If you qualify monetarily, your claim remains in effect for one year. This period is called a benefit year.
Individuals should apply for benefits as soon as they are unemployed, or working less than full-time. All claims are effective on the Sunday prior to applying for benefits, and have a one week unpaid waiting period. The waiting period does not begin until the claim is filed.
