Manager Said That If We Forgot To Clock Out Regardless That There Is Proof Of Us Working On Shift We’d Have Paycheck Denied (text Chain)

So a little bit of background, the company I work for switched over to Paylocity a few years ago and other than getting my sign in information, I received no “training” on how to use it. It’s not hard to use but the 2 managers I had before the current one never went over it.
So the other day my new manager (got promoted a few weeks ago) sent me a text saying that if I forgot to clock in and out (I have adhd and I forget to do so sometimes) going forward the financial department said they’d start denying my paychecks regardless of my proof of being at work. This is the first time anyone has had an issue with the clocking in and out, especially because we have to submit fixes to our manager for approval before the pay period ends anyway. (Been with this company for 7 years at this point) I work in residential treatment and typically when entering my work I’m usually not on my phone building rapport and what not. Not saying it’s something I can’t work on but from the short time I researched this, simply forgetting to clock in and out with proof of being on shift, they can’t actually deny my paychecks right? Under the fair labor standards act? I’m aware disciplinary action/retraining can take place too.

Just as a ps, if it is legal I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m wrong and I need to improve my clocking in and out regardless.
