Explanation:
The issue is: What are they exempt from?
They are exempt from clocking in/out at work.

Looking at it rather informally, the company doesn't care at what time they come to work, and they shouldn't care about what time the company (viz. their bosses) release them to go home. This is common for many managerial, sales, and secretarial jobs, and basically means that they don't get paid overtime. If they get used to show up late, or not at all, this will reflect on their performance, and the consequences are fairly predictable.

But how does the company control the non-exempt employees? There are two traditional ways:
"Eles batem ponto." It's an expression to say that they clock in and clock out by stamping their cards in a "relógio de ponto".
"Eles assinam o [livro de] ponto." In some smaller companies, they sign on a special book every day, when they arrive for work, and when they leave. Often they have to do it at luchtime as well.

At the end of the month, an "apontador" will check all their cards, or the "livro de ponto", to see if anyone should have their pay deducted because of unjustified tardiness or absentism.

Okay, modern technology has taken it over, so non-exempt employees nowadays just swipe their badges, or even have them detected at the gate, and a computer will calculate the whole thing. But it's still "marcar o ponto".

And I prefer "funcionários" to "empregados", especially if they are exempt. "Empregados" carries a somewhat heavy association to "empregados domésticos" = "household servants".

Explanation:
I worked for companies in Brazil for 10 years, and I don´t recall having running across any short expression as the one in English. If no one can find a shorter one, I am quite sure that the one I suggest above is very commonly used in Brazil.
