BiGB,
I don't want to pick on you here, but I do hope to be helpful.
That is not the case at all. Unemployemnt is an insurance policy and you don't pay into it at all, your employer does. Your employer pays rates based on the value of their total payroll and a multiplier for how many people get to draw from unemployment from that employer. Much like car insurance. Its based on the value of the car you drive with adjustments for how well you drive and how well the car performs in an accident.
Getting ripped off by changing a pay scale after the fact, that sounds more like fraud, and a civil case, think about hiring a lawyer. Some laws award something like tripple damages in cases like that.
Bottom line though, is unless you have a contract, you are an employee at will. Basically that means you or your employer can terminate employment for no reason at all. So when I worked for a slave pit bank telemarketing operation, I told myself and my co workers that complained, "Your job isn't what you think it is. Your job is to put up with the employer's toejam, and say, "thank you," with a smile.
In the mean time, go back to work. There are millions on welfare depending on you.
