You need to check your contract of employment, it should state if you have paid or unpaid sickness and holidays and if you don't have a contract then they don't need to pay you, you need to fill in a self certificate.

Why would an employer pay you for not working?

You will either get sick pay (if you have a doctor's note and you get sick pay at work) or statutory sick pay if you're entitled to it.

If not, then you won't get anything. (like if you work too little hours)

He doesn't have to give you a paycheck if you don't work, but if he won't give you hours either, and you're in the states, apply for unemployment Insurance benefits. If you were not fired for performance, and you didn't quit, you're eligible for UI benefits.

Best of luck to you!
