Re: eligible for unemployment or not.
As of January 1, 2007, mimimum wage increased to $7.50 in California. There is no law that requires paid vacation or holidays, that is up to the discretion of the employer. I don't understand the unemployment issue. If she has been employed for 18 years, the employer must pay into a reserve fund for unemployment benefits, if she otherwise would qualify. Your friend may want to contact EDD to see if she is listed as an employee with this company. If not, she should file a complaint so they can conduct an audit.
