What do I need from my employees to successfully add them to my payroll runs?

Fingercheck makes the process of bringing employees into your company much more streamlined through our employee self-onboarding process! Through this method, employees can enter in all their personal information such as their number of dependents and SSN, while also uploading any supporting documents required to work in the United States (documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, and birth certificates).

Once you have all those details, you can begin to classify them according to their tax type and have them fill out the necessary documents like the Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification), Form W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Certificate), and the Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification *used for independent contractors*).

Is there a way I can have a designated login for my accountant?
