First day of new job and the office shuts. Will I still get paid?

I was due to start a new job tomorrow and have been told not to come in as they are closed because of the weather. Will I still get paid, as my contract of employment runs from the 11th January. Not being greedy but just find it funny that on my first day I dont have to go in and I may even get paid for the privilege.

If you're contracted, you should get paid, so long as they have officially told you not to go in. Otherwise, take a rag, go to work and clean the windows. They surely couldn't deny you pay then, plus you've shown initiative to your new employers.

 

Or just go down the pub.
