Fingercheck Review

About Fingercheck

Fingercheck is an all-in-one payroll, time-tracking, and HR platform that is unusually well-suited to trades and construction because it was built around the field-crew reality: hours happen at job sites, not at a desk. Founded in 2013 in Brooklyn, it connects time tracking, scheduling, and payroll in a single native system, with GPS-verified time entries that automatically allocate hours to the correct job codes — giving a contractor real-time labor-cost tracking and project-level profitability rather than a month-end surprise.

For trades, two capabilities stand out. First, job costing: GPS-verified hours flowing to job codes means you can see budget-vs-actual labor by project as it happens. Second, certified payroll: Fingercheck generates the certified-payroll reports required on government/prevailing-wage construction projects, which is a genuine compliance headache it removes — and a reason construction shops specifically choose it. Overtime and break rules are calculated automatically in line with local law, and verified hours flow straight into payroll.

Pricing is accessible (from about $5 per user per month plus a base fee, with a free trial), and it is well-rated by users. The main considerations are that, as a specialized all-in-one, you are adopting it as your combined time/payroll/HR system rather than bolting payroll onto an existing tool, and feature tiers determine which construction capabilities you get — confirm certified payroll and job costing are in your plan if you need them.

For a construction or field-heavy trades business that wants time tracking, job costing, certified payroll, and payroll in one native system, Fingercheck is one of the best-fit options in this directory — more trades-native than generalist payroll tools. Office-only or very simple shops may not need its field depth and could use a simpler payroll tool.
