My employer says anyone who forgets to sign out/clock out wont be paid for that work day. I haven't signed any agreement to this effect. Can they legally do this?

In general no. The employer must pay a non-exempt employee for all time worked. (This assumes that the employer has more than $500,000 in gross income). However, the employee can be fired for not clocking out.
