Bottom line, officials are independent contractors. We get paid when we we're needed. No need, no pay.

If you show up at a game, and it's postponed or cancelled, then they owe you something for your time. However, if the order gets cancelled, no-one owes you anything.

You know, there's a contract somewhere that spells out when you get paid or don't get paid. Either you hold that contract (like I do here in WI) or your assignor does.

The only times I ever get paid for a game not worked is during baseball season when the home team fails to cancel and we drive to the field and it's unplayable (or a storm hits before the game starts).
