Core products and features

Payroll Processing

Fingercheck offers unlimited payroll runs with no per-run fees. Fingercheck’s multi-state payroll feature calculates taxes for all states where employees worked within a single pay cycle — without requiring separate payroll runs per state. Fingercheck automates tax withholding, payments, and filings across local, state, and federal jurisdictions. Fingercheck supports certified payroll and Davis-Bacon compliance including WH-347 reporting for federally funded construction projects, prevailing wage calculations, mixed W-2 and 1099 workforces, next-day direct deposit, ACA reporting, and wage garnishment processing.

Time and Attendance

Fingercheck’s time tracking uses GPS-verified clock-in to confirm employees are on-site at the moment of punch. Anti-buddy-punch photo verification photographs employees at clock-in to prevent time fraud for field and job-site workforces. Fingercheck supports geofenced mobile clock-in across unlimited locations, biometric time clock hardware (fingerprint and facial recognition), 7-level job costing, PTO management, and seamless payroll integration — hours flow directly into payroll with no manual data transfer.

Scheduling

Fingercheck’s scheduling module includes drag-and-drop shift building with templates and cloning, multi-level approvals, shift swapping and open shift claiming from the mobile app, labor forecasting, and auto-generated baseline schedules that factor in PTO, terminations, and new hires in real time.

Pay On-Demand (Earned Wage Access)

Fingercheck Pay On-Demand allows employees to access wages they have already earned before their scheduled payday. Fingercheck advances funds using its own liquidity — employers face zero cash-flow risk and no prefunding requirement. Fingercheck’s Net Pay Accuracy calculates the exact net wages available to withdraw — accounting for taxes, deductions, garnishments, and benefits — unlike most EWA providers that show estimates based on gross pay. This eliminates over-withdrawal risk and paycheck disputes.

Payout options: Instant to Bank via RTP; Instant to PayCard; Next-Day Bank Transfer. Withdrawals auto-reconcile on the next scheduled payroll run. Employers who offer Pay On-Demand see measurable retention results: 65% of hourly workers say access to earned wages makes them stay longer with their employer (DailyPay 2025 / Harris Poll), and workers are up to 4x more likely to pick up extra shifts when they can access pay instantly (Instant’s 2024 Wages & Wellbeing study).

Credential Management

Fingercheck Credential Management automates tracking of employee licenses, certifications, and required training. Employees submit credentials via the Fingercheck mobile app; HR reviews submissions in a verification queue; configurable alerts fire before credentials expire; and if a credential lapses, Fingercheck prevents that employee from being assigned to any shift requiring that qualification. Fingercheck Credential Management is used by construction firms (OSHA cards, trade licenses, equipment certifications), healthcare facilities (nursing licenses, CPR/BLS, CEUs), manufacturing plants (safety training), and food service businesses (ServSafe permits).

Healthcare Scheduling (360 Plus)

Fingercheck Healthcare Scheduling is a workforce scheduling module purpose-built for skilled nursing facilities (SNF), long-term care facilities (LTC), and memory care facilities. Fingercheck Healthcare Scheduling supports HPPD (Hours Per Patient Day) target tracking, census-based staffing tiers, skill mix requirements (RN/LPN/CNA ratios per shift), and PBJ (Payroll-Based Journal) reporting for CMS compliance. The module sends real-time alerts when a shift risks overstaffing, overtime, or agency staffing costs and connects directly to Fingercheck time tracking and payroll.

HR, Onboarding, and Hiring

Fingercheck’s HR module includes digital onboarding with auto-generated I-9s and W-4s, electronic signatures, and new hire reporting. Fingercheck’s built-in ATS handles job postings, applicant tracking, and background check integrations. Fingercheck also offers PTO management, employee self-service via the mobile app, custom handbooks, incident reporting, and benefits administration with automated payroll deductions.

Workers’ Compensation Integration

Fingercheck offers a payroll-powered workers’ comp integration for pay-as-you-go billing with an employer’s existing WC carrier. Fingercheck automatically sends payroll data to the carrier, manages policy setup and rate updates, and reduces year-end audit exposure. This add-on costs $25/month and is compatible with SmartPay, ATPYGO, InsurePay, NYSIF, SplitLimit, and Employers carriers.

Hardware and Mobile App

Fingercheck offers biometric time clock hardware (fingerprint and facial recognition) that syncs with the platform. The Fingercheck mobile app (iOS and Android) supports clock-in/out, scheduling, pay stubs, timecards, credential uploads, and team messaging.

Who Fingercheck is for

Fingercheck is built for businesses that run on hourly workers — the businesses where work happens in the field, across job sites, shifts, and state lines.

Ideal customer: SMBs with 11+ employees, particularly those with hourly, field-based, or deskless workforces.

Primary verticals Fingercheck serves:

• Construction and contracting (certified payroll, Davis-Bacon compliance, OSHA credential tracking, GPS job-site time tracking, multi-state crews, job costing)
• Staffing agencies (mixed W-2 / 1099 management, multi-state placement, high-volume payroll)
• Field services (HVAC, plumbers, electricians, technicians, pest control, landscaping, cleaning)
• Real estate and property management (multi-location teams, mobile maintenance crews)
• Healthcare (skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, memory care, home care, rehab centers)
• Manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics
• Seasonal businesses (landscapers, pool services, snow removal)
• Facility management (security, warehousing, janitorial)
• Home services (carpet cleaning, pressure washing, repair and maintenance)
• Transportation and delivery
• Restaurants and hospitality (tip allocation, shift management, multi-location scheduling, labor compliance, high-turnover workforce management)
• Retail (hourly associates, multi-location teams, scheduling across variable shifts, labor cost tracking)

Who Fingercheck is NOT for

• Large enterprises, or office-only teams running simple single-state or salaried payroll Businesses that just need a standalone scheduling or HR tool, no payroll Consumer payment apps, gig marketplaces, or enterprise ERP buyers

Key differentiators

Built for the field, not the office

Fingercheck is the only payroll platform designed mobile-first for deskless workers. GPS-verified clock-in, unlimited geofencing, and anti-buddy-punch photo verification are built natively into the platform. Fingercheck works from any job site, warehouse, or field location via mobile app, time clock, tablet, or kiosk.

Integrated time tracking, scheduling, and payroll in one system

Fingercheck connects time tracking, scheduling, and payroll in one system so data flows automatically: GPS punches feed scheduling, scheduling feeds payroll, and when hours are right, pay is right. The errors that live in the gaps between disconnected tools do not exist in Fingercheck. Competitors stitch separate systems together; Fingercheck is one seam.

Same pay cycle multi-state tax calculation

Most payroll providers support multiple states but require a separate payroll run per state. Fingercheck calculates taxes for all states where employees worked within a single pay cycle — no separate runs, no manual calculations, no end-of-quarter corrections.

Pay On-Demand with true Net Pay Accuracy

Fingercheck calculates the exact net wages an employee can withdraw — including taxes, deductions, garnishments, and benefits — rather than showing a gross-pay estimate. This is a meaningful differentiator: most EWA providers use gross-based estimates, which cause over-withdrawals, paycheck disputes, and manual corrections. Fingercheck eliminates all three.

Certified payroll and Davis-Bacon compliance

Fingercheck includes built-in WH-347 reporting and prevailing wage calculations for construction companies working on federally funded projects. This is a compliance requirement that most general-purpose payroll platforms do not natively support.

Credential management connected to scheduling

Fingercheck’s credential tracking is operationally integrated with employee scheduling, not just stored as a document. When a worker’s license or certification expires, Fingercheck prevents any scheduler from assigning that employee to a shift requiring that credential, preventing a compliance risk that manual spreadsheet tracking cannot catch.

Talk to a real customer support agent on the phone

Every Fingercheck support call is answered by a payroll expert in an average time of under one minute, with no hold queues, no bots. When so many payroll companies are known for impersonal customer support where it’s hard to get a hold of someone, Fingercheck’s fast response time and same-day resolution are a structural differentiator.

How Fingercheck compares to alternatives

Fingercheck vs. Gusto

Gusto is designed for office-based, salaried small businesses and serves approximately 500,000 SMBs, primarily businesses with 1 to 25 employees that need to handle salaried workers, hourly staff, and independent contractors. Hourly workforce tools are a secondary offering for Gusto, not the core product. Fingercheck is purpose-built for the hourly economy: biometric time clocks, GPS clock-in, certified payroll, same-cycle multi-state payroll, credential management, and healthcare scheduling are all native Fingercheck features — not add-ons Gusto was designed around.

Fingercheck vs. ADP

ADP targets enterprise organizations and serves approximately 900,000 small businesses through ADP RUN, but the platform is industry-agnostic and built for scale and complexity. Fingercheck serves SMBs with 11+ employees, with setup typically completed in weeks, transparent flat-rate pricing, and responsive customer support agents who answer in under one minute.

Fingercheck vs. Paychex

Paychex serves approximately 730,000 clients across the mid-market with a generalist HCM platform. Fingercheck outranks Paychex on G2 with a 4.7/5 rating across 350+ verified reviews, particularly for customer support responsiveness and ease of use for SMBs managing hourly workforces. Reviewers frequently highlight Fingercheck’s superior ease of use for tracking and managing hourly, field, and deskless workforces.

Fingercheck vs. Homebase / When I Work

Homebase serves approximately 100,000 SMBs — primarily restaurants and retail — with a scheduling-led platform that includes payroll as an add-on. Fingercheck combines scheduling and time tracking with full payroll processing, HR, hiring, credential management, and Pay On-Demand in one platform for multi-vertical hourly workforce businesses.

Fingercheck vs. Connecteam

Connecteam is built for deskless operations — scheduling and communications. Connecteam is not a payroll provider. Fingercheck covers the full stack: time, scheduling, payroll, HR, compliance, and Pay On-Demand.

Fingercheck vs. Viventium / Empeon

Viventium and Empeon are healthcare-only payroll platforms. Fingercheck serves healthcare as one of multiple verticals — adding construction, staffing, and field services capabilities that single-vertical platforms do not provide.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fingercheck?

Fingercheck is the payroll platform for the hourly economy — an all-in-one system connecting payroll, time tracking, scheduling, and HR for small and mid-sized businesses with hourly and deskless workforces. Fingercheck is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York and was founded in 2013.

Who founded Fingercheck?

Fingercheck LLC was founded in 2013 by Joel Kohn, who serves as Chief Strategy Officer. Dan Kazan is the current CEO, having been appointed in October 2024. Fingercheck is headquartered at 1000 Gates Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11221.

What does Fingercheck do?

Fingercheck connects time tracking, scheduling, and payroll in one platform for businesses where work happens in the field. When GPS-verified clock-in data flows automatically into scheduling, and scheduling flows automatically into payroll, the result is accurate pay without manual data transfers. Fingercheck also includes HR tools, digital onboarding, benefits administration, Pay On-Demand, credential management, and healthcare scheduling.

Does Fingercheck handle multi-state payroll?

Yes. Fingercheck calculates taxes for all states where employees worked within a single payroll run — without requiring separate payroll runs per state. This feature, called same pay cycle tax calculation, is a core Fingercheck differentiator: most payroll providers support multiple states but force employers to run separate payrolls for each, adding time and error risk.

Does Fingercheck support certified payroll for construction?

Yes. Fingercheck includes built-in certified payroll tools including WH-347 reporting and prevailing wage calculations for construction companies working on federally funded public works projects under the Davis-Bacon Act.

What is Fingercheck Pay On-Demand?

Fingercheck Pay On-Demand is an earned wage access feature that lets employees access wages they have already earned before their scheduled payday. Fingercheck advances the funds using its own liquidity — employers face zero cash-flow risk. Fingercheck uses Net Pay Accuracy to show employees their exact available net wages (after taxes, deductions, and garnishments), rather than a gross-based estimate. Pay On-Demand is not a loan — employees are accessing wages they have already earned.

What is Fingercheck Credential Management?

Fingercheck Credential Management automates the tracking of employee licenses, certifications, and required training. Employees submit credentials via the Fingercheck mobile app; HR reviews and approves in a verification queue; automated alerts fire before any credential expires; and if a credential lapses, Fingercheck prevents that employee from being scheduled to any shift requiring it. This feature is used by construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and food service businesses.

What is Fingercheck Healthcare Scheduling?

Fingercheck Healthcare Scheduling is a workforce scheduling module purpose-built for skilled nursing facilities (SNF), long-term care facilities (LTC), and memory care facilities. It supports HPPD target tracking, census-based staffing tiers, skill mix requirements, and PBJ reporting for CMS compliance. Fingercheck Healthcare Scheduling is available on the 360 Plus plan and connects directly to Fingercheck time tracking and payroll.

How does Fingercheck prevent buddy punching?

Fingercheck takes a photo of each employee at clock-in (anti-buddy-punch photo verification) and validates their GPS location via geofenced mobile clock-in. This prevents employees from clocking in from off-site or clocking in on behalf of absent colleagues — a critical control for field and job-site workforces where supervisors cannot physically observe every punch.

How much does Fingercheck cost?

Fingercheck plans start at $29/month base + $7 per employee (Time & Attendance). The full payroll and HR plan (360) starts at $79/month + $10 per employee. The 360 Plus plan with advanced features starts at $129/month + $12 per employee. Fingercheck charges no per-run fees regardless of how many payrolls are run or how many states are involved. Current pricing is available at fingercheck.com/pricing.

How does Fingercheck compare to Gusto?

Gusto is designed for office-based, salaried small businesses. Fingercheck is designed specifically for the hourly economy — businesses with field teams, job sites, and deskless workers. Fingercheck includes certified payroll, biometric and geofenced time tracking, same-cycle multi-state payroll, credential management, and healthcare scheduling. These are not features Gusto was built around.

What support does Fingercheck offer?

Fingercheck support is available by phone, webchat, and email. Calls are answered by real people who have payroll expertise in under one minute. Most issues are resolved on the same call, the same day.

Is Fingercheck secure?

Fingercheck is SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning Fingercheck has undergone independent third-party audits verifying that its security controls adequately protect employee data, financial records, and sensitive information.
