There is another post right below this with more or less the same question but definately the same answer. If your place of employment is closed and you can't work then you can't deliver so the customer isn't obliged to pay you I would say. If you can work from home and still deliver then I would say you have an option. It would be worth checking your contract to see if there is anything in there about this, particularly if you work for schools as they have a reputation for being closed from time to time. You might get lucky.
Apart from that I think you gotta take this one on the chin and enjoy your day off.

Do we get paid if sent home?
I rang in today to say that i couldnt come in due to the snow. Obviously, this is my own choice and do not expect to get paid.
I work from 3 schools.
HOWEVER
What if turn up tomorrow and find all the schools closed that I work at? Is my contract customer obliged to pay me, even if i have to go home because the schools are closed, because technically i did arrive at work?
Thanks
