Spanish term or phrase: Marcaje
Hello. I am translating a time and attendance application from Spanish into English. In this application is used the word 'marcaje' or 'fichaje' to describe what you do when you clock in and clock out. I need the action of these verbs. Do you know if the words 'Clocking' or 'Punch' are correct?? It is an application based on the fingerprint to clock in when you arrive at work. Then, you do a '...' (what's the word?)
