They don't have to pay you unless you have a written employment contract, including a union or collective bargaining agreement, which is for a definite period of time (e.g. one year) and which has not yet expired, which contract requires your pay in this circumstance. Otherwise, except if and to the degree changed by a written contract, all employment is employment at will, and that means (among other things) that you can be placed on leave without being paid. Only a written contract (including a union agreement, if you are under such an agreement and it covers this situation) would change that, so you have to reference the terms of any such contract.
