This is purely speculation on my part, because I really don't pay much attention to how our association negotiates our fee structure. But I do believe our cancellation "policy" is what we negotiate into the contract with the various organizations that we provide services.
I don't believe we get paid a full-game fee if we are enroute to a game site when a cancellation takes place due to weather. I think it turns out to be a certain percentage. If, however, the cancellation is due to one or both teams not showing up, then we get the full-game fee. That's because the screw-up is usually on the organization for rescheduling the game and not informing our assignor.
