It is not even remotely legal. The law is very clear: employees MUST be paid for all work they do--period. Even if you are fired in your second hour of working, you'd have to be paid for the first hour. There is no legal unpaid labor in this country. If they do not pay you, contact the state department of labor, though you should also be looking for another job: any company that would try to do this is one or more of stupid (not knowing the law) or criminal (knowingly violating the law), and you don't want to work for them if you have any options.
