Our employer states if we do not sign out at the end of the day, employees will only be paid until lunch. Legal??
We must sign in and out every day. If we do not sign out, we have been notified that we will only be paid until lunch.

No, you must be paid for each hour of work performed. Your employer can discipline you for failure to properly clock in and out, as some employers do.

Absolutely not. The law requires your employer to pay you for ALL hours worked -- and it does not excuse them from this obligation simply because you failed to punch in/out.

No. An employer cannot withhold pay as a form of disciplinary action. Denying pay for post lunch work sounds like a minimum wage violation. Failing to account for hours worked after lunch could result in overtime violation. See http://overtimelawyers.com/?page_id=53

You have a right to be paid for all time worked. Your employer has a right to fire you for failing to abide by policy.
