What is Terminated Employee Access?

  • Terminated employees can now log in to Fingercheck with limited access.

  • They will only be able to view and download their own pay stubs and year-end tax forms (e.g., W-2s).

  • By default, access will be enabled for all terminated employees who were terminated within the last 18 months when this feature is launched.


Company-level controls

You have two options:

Option 1: Allow access (Default)

  • No action needed.

  • All terminated employees will have document access once the feature is released.

Option 2: Opt out (All or None)

  • Use the Opt Out link (sent via email and in-app message).

  • Opting out will:

    • Lock out all terminated employees.

    • Require admins to continue retrieving and distributing documents on their behalf.

  • Important: Only one admin per company should complete the opt-out request.


Individual employee controls

Admins can manage access for one employee at a time through the Security Users settings.

To update access for an individual employee:

  1. Go to Setup > Security > Security Users.

  2. Select the terminated employee.

  3. Look for the option Lock Out.

    • Checked = Employee cannot access Fingercheck.

    • Unchecked = Employee can access documents only.

  4. Save changes.


FAQ

  • If you take no action:

    • All terminated employees will automatically receive limited document access.

  • If you opt out as a company:

    • All terminated employees will remain locked out.

    • Admins must provide documents manually if requested.

  • If you need to make an exception:

    • Adjust an individual employee’s Security User profile
