What is a time card?

A time card records when a workday starts and ends so total hours worked can be calculated for pay. It traditionally came from a punch clock; today it’s usually digital.

A time card and a timesheet overlap: a time card focuses on start/end times, while a timesheet often adds detail like tasks or projects. Either way, the goal is the same — total the hours.
