Re: employment contract
The law says that you must be paid for any and all time actually worked. Accordingly, unless you had a written employment contract for a specific period of time that spelled out how much you were to be paid, your former employer only must pay you for time actually worked.
Re: employment contract
This really depends on whether you have a written employment contract which spells out responsibilities if the agreement is breached by the employer. If there is no written agreement, signed by the parties, then you are entitled to payment for work done.
You should seek the advice of legal counsel.
Good luck.
