Pendulum Enterprise Time & Attendance System

Full Function Time and Attendance Software With Access Control and Job Costing

No more paper time cards! Pendulum™ time and attendance software electronically collects your employees' time using one or more terminals, calculates time, and outputs to payroll applications and service providers. This powerful time tracking system supports an unlimited number of fixed, flexible or open shifts, and weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay periods.

Pendulum at a glance

User-friendly — The intuitive setup wizard and menu-driven interface insure Pendulum is easy to install, easy to configure and easy to use.
Flexible — The Pendulum time and attendance system supports a variety of shift and pay period options, allowing you to run your business your way. The system automatically allocates costs to the appropriate company, division, department or shift. Optional modules offer even more functionality.
Informative — With over 70 standard reports, your Pendulum system will insure you're informed and up-to-date on key time and attendance metrics such as overtime, attendance issues and job costs. Reports can be displayed on-screen, printed, e-mailed or sent to a data file.
Secure — You can assign each administrative user a unique User ID and Password. Filters by User ID ensure supervisors can access only the information they need.
Accurate — Pendulum interfaces with your payroll system, saving time and eliminating errors caused by re-keying information. Easily tracks employee attendance, department transfers, job transfers, and departmental schedules.
Scalable — This versatile software supports an unlimited number of employees and input devices. You can expand the system to allow up to 25 concurrent administrative users. There's no longer a need to migrate time and attendance systems as your business grows.
Convenient — The handy auto-poll/auto-report feature allows you to set a date and time to automatically poll the data collection devices. The system will even automatically run and print your reports. With the optional e-mail upgrade module, you can have Pendulum automatically e-mail these reports directly to designated supervisors or employees.
