If you clock in 5 minutes early, (which were allowed to do, before they changed it)they will round it up to the hour, as well as, if you clock out 5 minutes after your time they round it back. Example: I work from 9:30 to 6:00. If I punch in at 9:25 its 9:30 and if I leave at 6:35, its 6:30. Is this legal in California?

If it averages out, it should not concern you. If it consistently means you are working extra time without pay, it should be addressed.

If you are not salaried, you should have set hours and punch in and out at that time. If the company is having you work over an extra 5 minutes on a steady basis, ask that you be paid for all time worked. Have a supervisor sign a timesheet in addition to the time clock. Many times the office has no idea of hours actually worked, just the scheduled hours. On the other hand, some slackers will punch in early (even though they don't start working) and lolligag to the clock to punch out. Signed sheets make it equal for everyone.
