I see you have worked in the real world
California has a law that you must be paid for at least 1/2 of your
scheduled HOURS if you have reported to work. A don't come in call before shift start equals No Pay required. (Remember, many California commutes are over 50 miles. A short shift can cause you spend more
getting to work than you made on the short shift).
The construction industry has Weather related 'early shift end' that is excluded from the paid minimum. (The
General loves it when that happens and there happens to be a materials shortage that would have otherwise required at least 1/2 pay.)
