Mandatory Meeting - Astros fan!

Posted: Nov 4th, 2017 - 2:52 pm

I work for a company that does Nuance overflow and I work as an IC. We received an email about a "mandatory meeting" next week. Should we expect to be paid for this? I want to ask them, but thought I would see what I can find out here.

TIA.
