Timeclock automatically deducts 15 min a day?

At the beginning of the year the owner mentioned the handbook was updated so we should sign off on the new change. I reread the handbook and noticed something I didn't the first time- a 15m break in the afternoon is automatically deducted from the time clock. I manually added up my timecard and sure as shit- it's short 15 minutes every day. Literally no one in my workplace takes an afternoon break. It's a busy job and interrupting the flow to take a break that short would be more annoying than it would be worth for most folks. I know it seems nitpicky, but that's over an hour of unpaid time every week. Does anyone know if this is legal?
