Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia

Employer Ethics...

I work for a small company where i used to make 30k salary. When i requested to work hourly they pay my $13.00 an hour.

I divided 30k by 12 = 2500

Dived 2500 by 2 = 1250 (biweekly)

1250 divided by 80hours = 15.625 an hour.

My boss divided my 1250 by 90 = $13.88 an hour.

My question is:

Can they divide my hours by have my working hours to be 90 or in other words 45 hour weeks. I currently work hourly and am being paid $13.00 an hour.

thanks
