Ok so they use ponchar to clock out, as the verb.
Hazme el favor de chequear con el manager sí o no me ha ponchado.
Gracias.
Do the favor of checking with the manager whether or not he clocked me out.
Is this right?
They use ponchar for clock out and YES the use manager for manager, sorry about that in advance. Is chequear the way to go? Check with him? Any better way? Or does it work? Gracias guys.

Nope it's ponchar. That was not my question, thank you though. - jeezzle, Apr 19, 2011
Around here (Texas, Mexico) they use ponchar, I will remember fichar though. - jeezzle, Apr 19, 2011
This is a highly idiomatic expression, Jeezle. They say "ponchar" in Puerto Rico, too, but different expressions are used elsewhere. - Gekkosan, Apr 19, 2011
I don't know if you remember, Gekko, but back in the day, "ponchar" also meant "make out": "A Jose y a Maria los mangaron ponchando!!!" - 002067fe, Apr 19, 2011
Ah, no Tom, that's a new meaning for me. :-) To me ponchar have always meant either to strike out, or flatten a tire. I just recently learned of "ponchar" meaning to clock, or stamp something. - Gekkosan, Apr 19, 2011

Hazme el favor de verificar con el gerente/director si ponchó/marcó/fichó mi hora de salida.

So you like verificar better than chequear? Could all four be used, verificar, chequear, comprobar, revisar, etc... all of them or is verficar just way best? Gracias - jeezzle, Apr 19, 2011
Again, regional usage and custom. All four options can be used. Chequear is a bit of an anglicism, from "to check (out)". - Gekkosan, Apr 19, 2011
