SHABBAT

The Rav Name: Rabbi Meir Arad

In the event that I am unable to go home on Shabbat or Chag, I am in a situation where I remain on the work premises but do not work. Am I entitled to receive payment for the time difference between when I finished my job, and when I can actually go home?

This depends on your arrangement with your boss/supervisor. If your arrangement is to receive money for all the hours that you are on the premises, there is no problem in your receiving it. You can punch the clock after Shabbat, and then work out the difference. If your boss/supervisor decides to allow you the hours of that time difference, it’s yours… if not, you must return it.
