Legal Question in Employment Law in California

If you reported to work, as scheduled, and were not told not to come in, your should received "reporting time" pay, which is one-half your scheduled hours, not less then 2 hours and not more than 4 hours for that day. Thereafter, the employer has no obligation to pay for hours not worked.

The employer is entitled to set and change hours, duties, titles, compensation, benefits, leaves, vacations, holidays, policies, rules, etc. just not retroactively. You get paid only for the hours you work. No, you don't get paid to not work when the company closes operations for any reason.
