Supervisor is adjusting my time clock when I clock in too early despite corporate policy

I believe this is also against federal law. My supervisor took about 10-15 minutes off each of my work days last week.

I feel like this is wage theft and is pretty clear cut and dry. I live in Michigan, non union, hourly employee. I got my boss to email everything we talked about including adjusting my time clock so I have solid evidence of this happening. What are my options here? I am going to HR to present this situation but I would like to know if there's anything else I can do to put me in a better situation.
