Fired During Training, Contract Says They Don't Need To Pay Me

Card image cap

all of my friends and family are telling me it's illegal for an employer to do this so I figured I'd ask people who actually know laws lol

I was hired Thursday for a company. we completed some training Tuesday and Wednesday. on Tuesday I signed the necessary paperwork to be hired lalalala well one paper that caught my eye was a paper stating that if I was fired and or quit within 30 days of hiring they didn't need to pay me. another thing was yesterday out of the blue I was told I wasn't allowed to discuss my pay with co-workers. I completed about 4-5 hours of training and got a call this morning stating they were letting me go as I wasn't a fit for the job. okay, cool, understood!

my friends and family are telling me this is shady business. any advice??

also, the agreed upon payment was 15/h so 4-5 hours isn't a big deal but still it's money that was supposed to be mine
