If they are adding time, yes. If they are taking off time, no.
failing to pay hourly employees overtime for each minute over 40 hours is nearly always a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
If you believe your employer has committed FLSA violations, you may be entitled to liquidated (double) damages AND attorneys' fees.
