Manager forced me to use a PTO to hit 40 hours after they sent me home due to low workload

Title basically says it. On Wednesday of last week we had a slow day and there wasnt enough work to go around. They asked if people would be willing to go home early. Under the idea that you would not be paid for the time that was missed. A bit dumb but I take one for the team and offer to go home. End of the week comes and my manager says my timesheet doesn't equal 40 hours. Its because you sent me home. He says I need to use my PTO to equal the difference even though they asked us to volunteer to go home. I said I never agreed to use PTO for this and he responds with you volunteered. Is there anything I can do about this. I eventually relented due to having my timesheet basically being held hostage. I have the correspondence saved.
