Can my employer not pay me for hours I worked?

No. Hours worked, or “working time”, includes all the time that you are required to be on duty, on the employer’s premises, or at any location your employer is requiring you to be at. Working time includes any work you do for the employer before or after your normal shift. It also includes short rest periods, typically 20 minutes or less.
