If you are an hourly employee, you should be paid--hourly employees must be paid for all hours worked, whether during normal working hours or shifts or not, and mandatory meetings qualify as work (even if held offsite).
If you are a salaried employee, your employer does not need to pay you anything additional--your weekly salary covers all work you do.
