from what i know:
should you get three hours pay?
as far as the three hours goes you're screwed. if you didn't work at all then you don't get paid. if you clocked in for even a minute you have an argument but just because you showed up is not their fault. its just a lack of communication. it would have been your responsibility upon getting hired to ask them how it works if you show up and then get sent home. sorry but i support them on this one. sorry you had to show up but you didn't actually do any work, and you knew the deal when you started: if its raining you don't work, if you don't work you don't get paid.
can they fire you?
yes. under any circumstances. if its the first three months, they don't have to give you notice, nor an explanation (this one is always my fav when firing people). they can essentially be like get the **** out you're fired and you have to leave right then and there no questions asked.
if its after 3 months they can fire you for ANY reason. the only difference is that if they have documented cause then you get no sevrance (sp?) pay.
if they have no cause to fire you (which in this case they don't, although i am to beieve you were in your 3 months) then all they have to give you is two weeks pay. so if you don't work very much you are screwed.
i am guessing that because of the 3 hours argument they want to let you go because now you sound like a trouble maker and don't want you going to the labour board after your 3 months when you have some backup.
