Actually, it depends on the job. If someone is salaried and uses a sick day, then yes, they'd still get paid. But in many cases (at least in the US), if someone is an hourly employee and doesn't have a sick day to use, then they wouldn't get paid for that day.
I figure that T's (in private practice at least) set their rates with the assumption that they'll end up with some empty session slots in any given week, either due to cancellations/no-shows or just not having a full caseload.
