Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana

Is it legal for my employer to refuse to pay me overtime? I'm a tipped employee, and my employer reduces my hours worked in the computer to 40 every time I work overtime. These overtime hours also don't show up on my paycheck, either as regular or as overtime hours.
