Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I work for a non profit agency. our office hours are from 9-5 and I get paid from 9-5, can I be required to start work 30 minutes early without getting paid. I am the receptionist and I am the only employee who has this requirement in the agency. I have been working here since 2008. I have been doing this for about 2 years, I have been put on probation a few times for not coming in at 0830 and being 10-15 minutes late. Today I came in at 0840. I may lose my job today
