California -- are employers required to have you sign a paper upon lay off / termination / quitting?
I got laid off last Tuesday (yes I immediately filed for unemployment). My employer only had my last check and check stub. In the past my previous employers always had a document stating my last day of employment, etc. I received nothing. Can someone help me find out through the California Labor Law if this is legal? I'm afraid my employer will petition against my claim. It was a true lay off as they told me they felt they paid me too much and didn't have any hours to give me. They said they are planning in giving my hours to someone that makes 4 dollars less an hour than I did.
Please help. Thanks
They didn't contest it like I was worried they would. I'm surprised because they are that kind of people. I'm sure they weren't happy about the claim as I tried to remain cool and collected the day they laid me off. I have been looking for a job like crazy because i'm so bored. Lol. BUT I am excited to find out that my unemployment pay will be based off the highest paying quarter in the last year.

It's legal, they don't have to have you sign anything. Unless there's something you didn't mention, doesn't sound like they have grounds for contesting unemployment for you. It's legal to replace you with someone cheaper.
