Wages card vs punch card machine in Malaysia
Search results mix three things: punch card machines, paper wages cards (kad kerja / kad upah / time cards), and immigration work permits. For contractor payroll, you care about the paper month card.
Punch machine
A clock on site that stamps IN/OUT onto a card — often black for on-time and red for late.
Wages card / kad kerja / worker time card
The Day 1–31 stationery sheet (sometimes sold as “worker card 100pcs”) that holds a full month of stamps and handwriting. This is what clerks photograph for payroll.
Why one photo needs a mixed reader
Real Malaysian cards combine handwritten ink and machine stamps on the same grid. KadKerja is built for that mix — not only neat printed text — and flags red ink and unclear digits for review.
