P.S. got lucky with a quick google, found the wikipedia entry on the episode you are remembering:

"No Show" is the forty-first episode of the HBO television series The Sopranos. It is the second episode of the show's fourth season....

Title reference

    * The title refers to the way the mob assigns paid jobs at a construction site to workers who never have to show up but continue to be paid. In the episode, the family splits the no show jobs between Ralph and Paulie's crews — Christopher and Paulie both receive a no show job. Also doled out are three no work jobs, in which a "worker" shows up for the titular job for the hours allocated but doesn't lift a finger doing actual work but, as depicted by Patsy, sit around in beach lounge chairs.
