Workers who fail to get into work can also lose pay if they don't

"extra hours" so you loose half a day due to the weather and you have
to work a whole day to get the same pay? Doesn't sound very fair to
me. Loose half a day and work those hours at another time is more like
it, say an hours "overtime" for 4 days.

I meant "extra" in the sense of outside normal working hours.


... although I guess that would apply here in the private sector.

I would like to think it applied to any sector private or otherwise.
Don't do your required hours, don't get the pay.

Certain public sectors used to be more lax in this regard.
