Employer Charging Me For Not Working "minimum Hours" Weekly. Where Do I See If This Is Legal State/federally?

In my contract there is a "Minimum Hours Worked Penalty," if I work less than the 40hrs/week they charge me $25 for every hour short. In the clause it states, ".....as allowed by state and federal law." Where do I research if there is any legislation prohibiting deduction in pay for this reason federally and in my state (Ohio)?

The entire clause is: Compensation
"Employee hereby authorizes the Company to deduct from the Employee's compensation any amount owed to the Company, including amounts due to previous overpayment, advances, deduction of Minimum Hours of Work penalties in Schedule C, or charges incurred by Company based on Employee's failure to perform an accepted assignment, none of which shall reduce Employee's pay to less than the minimum wage, as allowed by state and federal law."

Schedule C: Minimum Hours Worked Penalty
"If the Employee works less than the agreed upon Total Hours per Week in Schedule A, the Company will assess a $25 nonperformance penalty from net wages for each hour the Employee works less than the Total Hours per Week requirements, unless prohibited by applicable state or federal law. This penalty will be deducted from the Employee's next scheduled compensation payment. However, Employee will be paid for each hour in a work week the minimum hourly wage required by state or federal law."
