Can I be forced to take an additional 15 minutes for lunch because I punch in too early on my lunch

I had several 44 minute lunch breaks instead of 45 minute lunch breaks. Because of this my employer has decided I must take an additional 15 minutes each time I punch out for lunch. Is this legal and do I have any recourse?

Are you actually taking a lunch during this time or are you working? If you are working during any portion of your lunch break you should be getting paid for that time.
