Yes. You have to be paid for all hours worked, either pursuant to the FLSA or Louisiana state law. The only caveat would be if you are exempt, but if you are paid hourly, then you are not exempt. I would need to talk to you in more detail to know exactly what the circumstances are and what law would apply.
