The photoionization cross section (PICS) of Be from the ground state is studied with the saddle-point complex-rotation method for photon energies from 25 to 122 eV. A full-core plus correlation wave function is used for the ground state. For the resonances in the continuum, the energy and width for the singly core-excited Be-like ${1s2s}^{2}2p{}^{1}{P}^{o},$ ${1s2p}^{3}{}^{1}{P}^{o},$ and ${1s2s}^{2}3p{}^{1}{P}^{o}$ are calculated to high precision. The PICS are studied with a single open-channel approximation as well as fully coupled open channels. The Auger decay branching ratios of these states are studied to check the spin-alignment theory recently proposed by Chung. These results are compared with the existing theoretical and experimental data in the literature. For beryllium, our energy and width of ${1s2s}^{2}2p$ are 115.513 eV and 36.6 meV and those of ${1s2s}^{2}3p$ are 121.420 eV and 50.4 meV, which agree with the experiment of Caldwell et al., [Phys. Rev. A 51, 542 (1990)].
