I am suppoused to be on salary. I am out of vacation time. So I am now getting paid for every minute I am/am not here. For example - while no one else has to use their PTO if you are less than 30 minutes late (the grace period), they get paid for a full day. But If I am 5 minutes late, I don't get paid for it! Is this legal????

Yes, this is legal if you are a non exempt employee.

What is or is not legal should be out lined in your employee handbook. Just because the boss turns his head and lets some people come in late and nails you for it is not a matter of law.
If you are having a hard time at work and feel that you are being singled out, its time to look for another job before you loose the one you have.

Hmmmm...sounds to me like discrimination pure and simple. If others with the exact same pay & job description are given that play then so should you. Now, is there an underlaying problem, such as a personal conflict problem or race or sexual discrimination issue involved? you are the only one who knows the inner info to judge this.

Sounds like someone (the boss) doesn't like you.....I'd threaten to quit if they are going to be so nitpicky....but first I'd mention that I'm going to talk to a lawyer to see if there are "unfair labor practices"...
Usually the threat of a lawyer puts businesses on edge.

Why don't you just stay 5 minutes late, and put in your full eight hours?

There are two types of salaried employees, exempt and non-exempt, you sound like the non-exempt type.
