My employer does pooled tips which are distributed weekly as well as i get paid every 2 weeks. My manager requires, whether you are on the clock or not, to read the "communication log" that sometimes takes 5-15 minutes to complete before recieving our tips/check. She also doesn't schedual training time for this "required" knowledge. Is my manager allowed to withhold either if she is not willing to pay us for our time?

The reading of the document is work time and must be paid, as it is a required job-related task.
