Employer blocking access to timecard.

My employer was making a big deal about time theft, and how dastardly, and evil it is, and it got me wondering. For the past month or so they have locked the front door such that keycards do not work, forcing people to either show up very early to knock on the door in hopes of being let in on time, or being unable to clock in on time, thus costing people minutes and losing money. That feels more like time theft than looking down at your phone every once in a while to mess with Spotify. Is that legal in California?
