Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

I work in the hospitality industry. Everyday I'm here about 45 minutes to an hour past my shift doing work. We do not get paid for that time. We get paid out straight 8 hours and that is it. Is this legal? I'm losing approx. 5 hours a week out of my check.

Most likely you should be paid overtime. Please contact me and I'll put you in touch with my colleague who specifically handles wage/hour issues.
