Yes, it's called a furlough. When times are tough and there is a budget crisis (lots of governments are experiencing this now), they have voluntary and involuntary furloughs. If not enough people volunteer to be on furlough, the job makes people take involuntary ones.

They could always not schedule you to work....

Yes, if there is nothing for you to do, they do not want you to come in and have to pay you to stand around doing nothing
