Congratulations on the purchase of your new Lathem PC50 Time and Attendance
System. This system will allow you to record and manage employee attendance records
with ease and simplicity.
Included in packaging is the PayClock Express software, which you will use to manage
data. This software will allow you to view, edit, sort, and print attendance records within
one window. Should you desire software upgrades or system accessories in the future,
information is available at www.Lathem.com.
The PC50 utilizes a proximity badge system, meaning that employees will punch in and
out by waving a badge in front of the clock’s sensor. The PC50 is “real-time”, so there is
no polling this device. When an employee punches In or Out, the punch is immediately
added to the database.
The PC50 also offers a backlit LCD screen to display important attendance information.
Upon receiving a punch, the screen will display the employee’s name, In/Out status, and
total hours worked for the pay period. You may also elect to add custom messages or
sounds to play for individual (or all) punches.
PayClock Express uses an “open schedule” of 14 hours to calculate employee time and
attendance. This means that an employee’s schedule begins with his/her punch and ends
14 hours later. The employee is able to punch in and out freely during his/her schedule.
So, if an employee clocks in at 8:00am, his/her schedule remains open for punches until
10:00pm (14 hours later).
