If you are a non-exempt employee (typically an hourly paid worker), then you are entitled to be paid at the vertime rate for all hours that you worked over 40 in your work week. Therefore, unless you agreed to this cut in your hours, you are entitled to be paid for them since your employer did not secifically cap the hours that you could work. If you company refuses, then you can sue them in small claims court or file a wage comolaint with your state's department of labor.
