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.
During those 12 months, you earn a credit week for each week you earned $50 or more in employment wages. If you have less than 16 credit weeks, you're not eligible for Pennsylvania unemployment benefits. If you have 16 or 17 credit weeks, you can only collect up to 16 weeks of unemployment benefits. If you have more than 17 credit weeks, you can collect up to 26 weeks.
