I echo Garths comments. In addition, as long as the assignor calls; either left a message on the the answering machine, talked to your wife , kids or any other method of communication, serves as notice and if you show up - No FEE.
IMO, you should have a WRITTEN CONTRACT that spells all of this out. In both HS and summer ball we have written contracts. We also have a summer meeting in which the assignor goes over the FEE structure for all the leagues we service and the conditions of the contract.
You said one hour and 15 minutes, IMO that's not enough time. Most associations as Garth pointed out use the 2 hour differential. In my area for summer ball we use one hour and a half.
In addition, while you didn't mention it, IMO you should also have a clause that outlines the FEE structure when the umpires do show, but there is no game because the team does not have enough players or a team doesn't show - that's different then when a game is cancelled to do outside factors.
Summary: I strongly recommend that you have a written contract spelling this all out and have a meeting with your umpires to go over this, so that there is no confusion.
