TS 11830

TS 11830 is a standard dealing with the rules for arranging a worker's puan card. In workplace administration, a timekeeping or attendance card is used to record working days, shifts, and other time-based entries in a structured way. The focus of this standard is the layout and organisation of that card, not the wider payroll or labour-law process itself.

What a timekeeping card does in practice

In general technical usage, timekeeping brings together records of attendance, working hours, overtime, and related time data for employees. Such cards support payroll preparation, absence tracking, and internal administrative control. A worker's puan card is therefore a document format intended to collect this information in a consistent paper-based structure, where clarity of fields and orderly presentation matter.

What this standard covers as a document format

• The arrangement and organisation of the worker's puan card form
• A systematic and readable placement of record fields
• A structure compatible with used form examples and related national references
• Document formatting suitable for administrative time-record use

Based on its title and scope, the standard is concerned with document arrangement rules. It does not, by itself, define payroll calculations, labour-law obligations, or the entire attendance-control process. Its value lies in helping organisations keep time records in a common, orderly format that can be used consistently across workplaces.
