IANAL, but from what I know if this is happening in the U.S. it isn't legal. Even piece meal pay wouldn't allow for it, and hourly surely doesn't. Salary also doesn't permit this as type of pay docking as you aren't being paid for "hours", but for a position. Frankly, I'd report it to the wage and labor for whatever state, but my guess is this is outside the US.
