Every employing unit shall report to the department upon request any information with respect to its employees as the department may require on forms approved by the department. Such information shall be set forth fully and clearly as required by the department and unless otherwise required each employing unit shall, within 10 days after the date of mailing of a request by the department, return the information to the department.

Whenever another state requests that California submit employment information to the other state in order to determine the eligibility of a combined-wage claimant under a combined-wage claim filed under the Interstate Arrangement for Combining Employment and Wages (see Sections 455.5-1 through 455.5-11 of these regulations) for which the other state is the paying state, the department may by written notice require that the California employers for whom such claimant has performed services in the base period as defined under the law of the paying state, submit within the time prescribed by subdivision (a) of this section necessary wage and employment information as prescribed by the department.

(c)

Except as provided by subdivision (b) of this section and where the department has reasonable ground to suspect fraud, no employer shall be required to furnish information relative to a present or former employee's earnings other than on the basis of a calendar week or the employer's payroll period.
