Lathem Time News

Atlanta, GA (October 8, 1999) --- Lathem Time introduces PayClock Pro(r) a powerful, adaptable and complete Time and Attendance system designed to accommodate the complex payroll and attendance rules of multi-faceted organizations, as well as the varying rules between different groups of employees within the organization.

PayClock Pro provides a single-source solution --- powerful time and attendance software combined with the choice of high-end data terminals, such as Lathem's advanced PC3500 wall-mounted badge reader.

The system is enhanced by the power of a true, Windows operating system, offering "point, click and drag" efficiencies, and true graphical representations. For example, start and end times, breaks and meals and revision zones are all represented in a time bar, providing an intuitive representation of a workday.

Its real time database engine delivers instantaneous, automated calculations. This capability to calculate "on-the-fly", opens the door to all sorts of "what-if" labor scenarios, which can help companies better predict and improve their labor management processes, without a lot of parameter changing or complex programming.

The database technology also supports numerous third-party application interfaces, necessary to share data seamlessly among the different systems, management groups and employees throughout the enterprise.

Lathem's Director of Marketing Lance Whipple, said: "Many mid-sized to large companies are moving toward integrated solutions and centralized data sharing between business units. This technology supports that direction extremely well, improving labor productivity and letting management focus more on employee empowerment, and less on time and attendance specifics."
