I work at a restuarant, if the power goes out, are we still paid for hours there?

power went out at 10:45 and i stayed there till 3:30 but got punched out at 1:30

Answer:
A company must pay for 4 hours if you are told to leave early due to their actions.

If the power failure is not caused by them then they do not owe you anything.

If they make you stay then they must pay you.
duh of course! They can go back in the system it fix it!
depends on the management as to if u get paid but u should because tecnaly u r still on the clock till they tell u to go home u get paid till 1:30
if they require you to stay, you get paid, if they clock you out at 1:30,. then you get to go home.
As long as you are still working your shift they have to pay you.
As long as you are working and not told to go home,I would have to say yes.
it depends on what the manager decides. if you stayed there you should still get paid. otherwise you could have just gone home.
if you worked you should get paid. you work at a restaurant are you a waitress? do you still have any bills floating around saying your still working? Show it to your boss he'll make the adjustment, but dont make a big deal about it.
It depends on management. Im a waitress pt and at my restaurant they try to clock us out asap. So just make sure that the time will be adjusted when you get your check, if it's not then make note of it and have it changed on your next check
You were there and willing to work. It is not your fault and yes you should get paid. Tell your employer, If they don't comply, call your local labor board.
you should be paid for all time at work,if they made it mandatory to stay to 3;30,then they have to pay you!whether they had you working or not is beside the ponit !if they make you stay,then they pay
If the power was still out, how did the punch clock work?
Anyway, I believe that an employee should be paid for the hours worked, as long as they are productive hours. If your boss kept you standing around doing nothing until 3:30 though, I would say that was his/her decision, & you should be paid for your time.
