... you pay for the day you show up, even if you're then told you're fired and sent home. Usually, salaried employees are NOT paid by the hour but by the pay period in which they do any work at all - and that includes showing up for work. In some states, even an hourly employee must be paid for a minimu of four hours on any regularly scheduled day they report for work unless previously notified they're fired. If they resist, that's a separate claim with the state's labor department - and those usually get pursued, with penalties for delayed payment.
