I was confirmed and scheduled to work a 2 day event. The employer cancelled my employment without notification. Does the employer still have to pay me for the 2 days wages?
Hey ****! In California, the employer may not be required to pay you for the canceled days unless you have a contract or agreement specifying payment for cancellations. However, there are specific rules if you are a non-exempt employee and showed up for work but were sent home. Did you have any written agreement or contract regarding this event?
Im an employee of the company. What do you mean written agreement.?
Hey ****! A written agreement or contract is a document that outlines the terms of your employment, including payment details, job responsibilities, and conditions under which you will be paid. It can include an employment contract, offer letter, or any written communication confirming your work schedule and payment terms. Do you have anything like that for this event?
Yes it was posted on the employee web portal that I was confirmed to work.

In California, if you are a non-exempt employee and were scheduled but not given work, you might be entitled to reporting time pay. This generally applies if you reported to work and were sent home. However, if you did not actually show up, the employer may not be obligated to pay.
Would you like to provide more details about your situation, such as whether you showed up for work or were notified before the event?

Case Rating: *
A non-exempt employee in California is entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay, and other protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These employees are typically paid hourly and must be compensated for all hours worked, including overtime.
Since you did not show up for the event, your employer may not be obligated to pay you for the canceled days unless there was a specific written agreement stating otherwise.
Do you have any other questions or need further clarification?
