Is it legal for an employer to edit your time sheet to avoid paying overtime? (NJ)

This has happened twice now. Last week, I was scheduled to come in a hour early to take a fire safety training course, it was specifically mentioned we would be paid for that time. So I clocked in as soon as I got to work , which would’ve left me with 41 hours for that week. I noticed today that my time for that day was edited to my normal start time, and not the time I actually clocked in. Leaving me with exactly 40 hours. Which means they definitely did not pay me for that hour of training. This is not the first time I worked over 40 hours and they edited my time sheet to take away any additional time I worked passed those 40 hours. How should I handle this situation?
