If you have an accrual policy in place, it just takes a few clicks to find out what an employee's PTO balance is. You can choose between three methods.

Note: If you have not set up accrual policies for paid time off but you pay for your employees' vacation time, you can still check each employee's used hours. Open the EMPLOYEES tab. Select the employee. Click Payroll > Pay History. You can also check the Absence Requests report under the REPORTS tab > Attendance.

To import PTO data for an employee, see How to Import Data into Fingercheck.


Method 1 — From the employee's profile

  2. Click the EMPLOYEES tab, and click on the employee's number to open the employee's profile.

  3. In the profile, click Accrual Policies under Personal to see the balance.


Method 2 — From the employee's time card

  1. Log in to your Fingercheck account as an Administrator or Supervisor.
