   PC50 User Guide- 6   WWeellccoommee  PRODUCT OVERVIEW 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).  SYSTEM FEATURES The PC50 is the latest innovation in automated time and attendance systems..  Combined with the ease and simplicity of PayClock Express software, managing payroll is quick and efficient.  Your new system offers a number of unmatched features:  PAYCLOCK EXPRESS: The Home Screen (see page _) The PayClock Express software introduces a one-screen menu that allows you to get more out of the functions you use most. This updated user interface allows you to locate functions quickly, helping you to get the information you need easily. Express Timecard (see page __)   The Express Timecard sits on the right half of the PayClock Home Screen, allowing quick and concise views of individual punch records Expandable and Upgradeable (see page 7) The 50 employee standard capacity with PayClock Express may be upgraded to 150 employees with software upgrades.  In addition to expanded capacity, software upgrades give you even greater configuration, scheduling, and reporting capabilties. Custom messaging (see page _)

  PC50 User Guide- 40   In the Rounding tab, you define how your punches will calculate. Rounding adjusts a punch to an even increment of time. With rounding, there must be a setting that triggers the punch to adjust forward or backward - this is the break point.  You can set how punches round on the Pay Class General tab and also thru the Schedules icon.  There are 3 selections for rounding: There are 5 selections for rounding: Not Selected = No rounding, punch to punch calculations (Note: This is the default setting.). 1/4 Hour = 15 minute round with a 7 minute break point. 1/10 Hour = 6 minute round with a 3 minute break point. 1/1 Hour = minute to minute calculations, no rounding (choose this if you do not want to round punches but you do want to use the extended break amount feature). 15/3 Hour = 15 minute round with a 3 minute break point. Not Selected = No rounding, punch to punch calculations (with this selection the extended break amount feature is disabled).  If you need to define rounding rules other than these, you can do this in the Rounding Rules tab at the Schedules icon.  Examples: 1/4 Hour punch rounding is selected.    An employee punches at 8:09.   Since :09 is after the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:15.    An employee punches at 8:06.   Since :06 is before the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:00.    An employee punches at 8:07.   Since :07 is at the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:15.     Punched Break Rounding With punched breaks, the amount of time the employee was punched out is rounded instead of the individual punches. If the break punches fall within the break settings, the break length will be deducted even if the employee was only punched out for a short time. The break will start at the time of the Out punch for the break.  Examples:  A 30 minute break is setup and 1/4 Hour punch rounding is selected.    An employee punches Out for break at 12:09pm and punches back In from break at 12:30pm.   30 minutes will be deducted since the break length was set for 30 minutes, even though the employee was only punched out for 21 minutes.
