They are allowed to do this. They owe you nothing except reasonable severance in lieu of notice.
People have some strange ideas about the nature of the relationship between an employer and their employees. You're exchanging your service or labour for money by mutual agreement that either party can end if they don't think it's worth the exchange anymore, for any reason. If you quit a job, do you feel a burden to keep working for them for free until they find a suitable replacement to fill your position? Of course not. So why on Earth would you think you're entitled to be paid to not work somewhere anymore?
