No, not always. In my state, they have to compensate you with some minimum amount. I don’t know what that is, but based on my current contract, my guess is that it’s the equivalent of one week of pay.

(I’m fine with it because it’s a small, and not particularly interesting, industry. Plus, I’m in a DevOps role: none of our five or ten competitors are going give me a bag to have me build CI/CD pipelines.)
