Will MSPs who absented themselves today get paid?

[Kenn]

Following the news item about the strike today raised this question about those Labour and Green MSPs who choose to boycott Holyrood and join the picket lines.
I hope that they too forfeited their day's pay and would like to think that it could be donated to some worthy cause but I very much doubt it.
Does any one have the answer?
