With statuses, you can categorize employees according to their employment status. Fingercheck comes with three default statuses: Active, Onboarding, and Terminated. If you want additional statuses, see the procedures below.
Employee status is used in employee profiles, and you can sort by employee status on the EMPLOYEES tab.
