Your right is to be paid--you must be paid for all work you did. If they won't pay you voluntarily, you could sue them (such as in small claims court) for the money. You would sue them based on breach of contract: for violating the agreement (even if only an oral, or unwritten one) according to which you worked in exchange for pay.
