Do you still get paid if your shift is cancelled?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your contract specifies your work hours, your employer has to pay you for them whether they have work for you to do or not. If you're on a casual contract that doesn't specify the hours, your employer could tell you they don't have work for you and not to come to work, and they wouldn't need to pay you.
Whether you’re entitled to compensation from your employer for cancelling an agreed shift or ending a current shift early depends on the terms of your employment agreement and the specific circumstances of the cancellation.
