the clocking in

This might be off-topic, but it seems that we are talking about "clocking in" employees (warning : this might be British English !), making them record their arrival time at work.
The noun appear to be "the clocking in".

I guess that the Turkish word comes directly from the French term "pointer" (pointer au travail, l'heure de pointe, etc..). The contractors have to clock in between 06:45 and 07:00 in the morning if I understood correctly.

A funny reference :

The original term was plural, but the English term may be singular since we are talking about a company-wide event.
