What world do you live in? People get paid for not working all the time. Government officials, sports figures, bureaucrats, mid-level managers, Hollywood actors...and they're usually making an ungodly sum of money in the process... So if my boss is forcing me to work 16 hour days, he can foot the bill for the two hour nap that makes it all possible.

People who are required to be in such-and-such a place pending the start of actual work are paid to do so all the time -- it called "being on call".
