Explanation:
I would be careful about the meaning of emargement: it does mean signing but it also means to receive something out of a budget

émarger :
1.rogner ou diminuer la marge de (ici cela pourrait être bénéfices ou manoeuvre je ne sais)
2. signer pour prouver sa présenceà une réunion
3.recevoir le traitement affecté à un emploi

bon courage!
