That way, you need worry less about retribution (which is illegal, too, but if they are willing to steal part of your paycheck, then what's to stop them from considering other kinds of lawlessness).

Also, I think it's a good idea that when faced with this kind of situation, to comply with the company's demands superficially if it's clear that you must do so in order to keep your job, but to also keep diligent records of the honest extent of your work for the company in its entirety, whether that's a 40 hour week, or 50 or 60 or 80 hour week.
