Should a Member of Staff who has Been Sent Home Early Still Get Paid?

It depends on the circumstances under which the member of staff was sent home early. If the staff member was sent home early due to no fault of their own, such as the workplace being closed early, then they should still be paid for their full shift. However, if the staff member was sent home early due to disciplinary reasons, then they may not be entitled to full pay.

If a member of staff has been sent home early, they may still be entitled to pay for the hours they were scheduled to work. This will depend on the employee’s contract of employment and the reasons for their early departure.

If the employee has been sent home early due to disciplinary reasons, then they will not be entitled to pay for the hours they were scheduled to work. However, if the employee has been sent home early due to operational reasons (e.g. the workplace is closing early), then they may be entitled to pay for the hours they were scheduled to work.

If you are unsure whether you are entitled to pay for the hours you were scheduled to work, you should check your contract of employment or speak to your employer.
