My job is requiring us to clock out for a 30 min break on top of leaving work 30 mins early. Is this legal???

I live in Florida and my job is making us clock out 30 mins for break and 30 mins early. My shift is technically 7 to 3, but bc of the 30 min break, we stay back til 3:30 to get back the 30 mins so that we complete our full 8 hour shift. Now with this new “policy”, we will be only amassing 7.5 hours each shift and that is not fair. Is this legal?? Please help! EDIT: I would like to add that in the break room, there is an example of a “missed punch form” paper. On the example it says: “Punch in: 7:00am” “Punch out break: 12:00 pm” / “Punch in break: 12:30pm” “Punch out: 3:30pm” Im pretty sure that is there for state purposes. That example implies that you are to earn your 30 back.
