Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I am a teacher at a private school who is paid a yearly salary. Our school day starts at 8 AM, but teachers are considered late if they sign in after 7:40 AM. Starting this year, the school has been deducting 1/3 of a day's worth of pay for employees who sign in late, or sign out early. Is this legal in the state of Illinois?
