Hi sirah,
I think it is more correctly if you say
Hasnt it been done yet?
the most common is to add negative with yet

Or you can ask the question without yet.the answer will be not yet

you need to write in the negative, because yet is just used in the negative form... hugs dear....

We can use �yet � in both positive and negative sentences:
 
Has the CD finished yet?  (No expectation on the part of the speaker.)
Hasn �t the CD finished yet? (The speaker expected that the CD would have finished by this time.)

I agree with ballycastle too since the general rule for "yet" is that it is used in interrogative as well as negative sentences.
"They haven �t been home yet." / "Have they been home yet?"
