Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I work at a gym that opens at 6:30 am in california. There is only one person working per shift, so if you are late, no one is there to open the gym. The owner wants to make it a rule that employees must call him from our house phone as we are leaving to get to work. He wants to make this a clock in system to make sure that we are going to be on time to work. Is this legal?
