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.
Each tier offers extra weeks of unemployment in addition to basic state unemployment benefits. Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Tiers through September 2012: Tier 1: 20 weeks or 80% of your regular claim, whichever is less. Tier 2: 14 weeks or 54% of your regular claim, whichever is less.
