it is illegal for any company to NOT pay an hourly employee for actual hours worked,
whether the employee agreed or NOT
about 18 years ago I found myself in a situaton where I was not being paid all the hours I worked
when I asked my boss he told me "if I deducted all the bathroom breaks, getting coffee, blowing
your nose, etc you'd owe me"
I was so pissed at his arrogance
I callled the state labor board
I could not risk losing my job so was not willing to file with them
but they told me to keep a work journal of my hours
as soon as I found another job I filed in small claims court against him
and won! double what I claimed for wages

the laws may have changed since then and do vary from state to state
your state labor boad is your best resource
you can file an annonymos complaint or you can get advice like I did

121707 - Addendum
check with your state labor board
I don't know what the statute of limitations is for filing a complaint with the Labor Board to get monetary
retribution through them for yourself; however, you can file an anonymous complaint that you have 1st
hand knowledge of the company's wrong-doings to maybe help someone else
when the Labor Board investigates a company - they go back 7 years
small claims court I think you have 2 years
