All of our employees (including salaried exempt) are required to use a time clock to show the days actually worked, which I was always very opposed to enforcing for exempt ees. However, I spoke directly with a DOL investigator who told me it is absolutely not a problem. The secret is obviously that you must pay your exempt employees based on their salary, rather than varying it by the number of hours worked, and all the other in's and out's of the laws related thereto.
