If you're an existing company moving over to Fingercheck from another payroll provider, when setting up your Fingercheck account, you will be asked to submit documentation regarding your payroll history for the current year.

To make your transition as smooth as possible, our team will import that information into your Fingercheck company so that you don't have to worry about any missing data.


How to prepare your data

To prepare, you'll need to provide us with the following information for all active and terminated employees who were paid this year:

  • Year-to-date (YTD) pay information from the current quarter

  • YTD pay information from each prior quarter
