Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona

Unemployment insurance/laws of California to fire employees

I am a multi-state employer which my headquarters is located in Arizona as a ''carrier'' for a trucking business. I hired a truck driver who lives in California delivering from California to Arizona. His workers comp and UI is registered in California. He gets paid per ton(no hourly, salary). He gets paid for what he hauls and if there are no loads, he doesn't get paid. (No sick pay, leave of absence and ...) What are the laws of California without having to pay for UI if he files? Can he file for UI if he gets laid off due to no work, or even if he gets fired due to something he did wrong? What if he quits on his own because he needs to find work? I've paid for the UI tax benefits already for the year. How does UI work and is he considered a California employee or Arizona non-resident employee. Arizona law stipulates the ''right to work state'' and can fire anyone anytime without giving a reason. Is that true for California or do I have to give 3 written warnings?I need to know ASAP!!Thank you.

We would need the facts behind his hiring and a copy of any agreement between the two of you. We could review any agreement, research the jurisdictional issues and advise you for a $400.00 flat fee.
