Working on rest break (20 min)

Hi all. My manager today asked me to start working on my paid rest breaks. Is this legal? I’m in WV if it matters. I’ve worked here for over a year and if there were only 2 of us (I work nights), we weren’t allowed to take breaks, as it is my company’s policy to always have 2 people clocked in, otherwise the store must be closed. We also have a break quota, and my new manager has asked that no matter how many people are present, to clock out for a 20 minute (paid) rest break and keep working. I find this stupid as fuck, destroys the idea of a rest break, but I dunno if it’s illegal.
