Yeah that's definitely not so in America

How do people get paid for work they didn't do?

Because you're required to give the workers X weeks notice (depending how long they've worked there). Most of the time, when you fire someone you don't say "you have two more weeks of work". You just send them home. And because of the notice-requirement, at the very least you need to give them money equivalent of the notice time not provided.
