Need to add an employee to Fingercheck? You can do it yourself without inviting them to self-onboard; you can manually add employees to Fingercheck.
However, suppose your employee is a new hire. In that case, we advise you to send them an invitation to self-onboard, as our system generates electronic new hire forms new employees must complete within two days by federal law.
Manually add employees
Go to the EMPLOYEE tab
Click “+New Employee."
3. A slide-out will open up, then select employee type: W-2 or 1099
W-2 employees are the standard worker classification
1099 refers to freelancers, contractors, consultants, and other short-term jobs
4. Complete the "Basic Information" for your employee.
5. Fill in the required fields (*)
Name
Employee number
Clock number
Work email
Tax work location
Job title
Full or part-time
Pay rate
6. If you want to enter all of your employee's information, then do not turn on the "Enable Self-Onboarding" toggle.
7. Click Next to save the data and to move on to the next steps
Step 2 is Personal Info
Enter the employee's address
Enter the contact information
4. Fill in the social security number
5. Enter the date of birth

Step 4 is Tax Settings
Complete the necessary fields
This step is Fingercheck's equivalent of the W-4 Form and involves employee involvement to a certain extent. The employee will need to self-enter OR tell you their filing status, number of exemptions, and if they opt to withhold an additional amount, and if so, what the amount is, whether it be a percentage or a fixed amount.
Click Next
Step 5 is Payments

Paper checks
3. Split Your Paycheck (allocation) is next. It allows the employee to divide their paycheck into different accounts and allocate a percentage or flat amount to those accounts.
4. Click Next to finish
