yes, in a way this is legal. within an 8+ hour period of time, you are allowed by federal law, (2) 15 minute paid breaks during that period. take your lunch during this time. and 1 half hour lunch unpaid, unless you have to work through your lunch, then your employer must pay you for your time. it's legal for them to schedule your lunch at the end of the day, but it is also legal for you to leave at 3:30 and make them, pay you till 4:00, if that makes sense.
