Migrate from Fingercheck to BambooHR

Fingercheck Employee records (personal data, employment metadata, SSN, DOB, hire date, pay type, exempt status, supervisor assignment) map to BambooHR Employee records. SSN and DOB are extracted to a secure encrypted file for employee self-service re-entry through BambooHR's employee portal since BambooHR does not accept these fields via bulk import. We map Fingercheck's HireDate to BambooHR hireDate, PayType to payType, ExemptFromOT to overtimeExempt, and FullOrPartTime to employmentHistoryStatus. The Fingercheck EmployeePhoto field is delivered as a file attachment for manual re-upload.

Fingercheck Divisions represent organizational units and map to BambooHR Divisions. The DivisionID on each Fingercheck Employee maps to the divisionId field in BambooHR. We export all active Divisions and their hierarchy before employee migration to ensure the lookup relationship is satisfied at import time. BambooHR Division names are created first, then employees are imported with divisionId references resolved.

Fingercheck PayGroup determines pay frequency (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly) and pay type (salaried vs. hourly) and drives payroll tax calculation. We map PayGroup to a BambooHR Compensation entry with the payType (salary or hourly), payFrequency, and payPerFrequency fields populated. Fingercheck hourly rate and salary amount map to BambooHR compensation fields. Note that BambooHR Payroll (if purchased as an add-on) handles tax withholding setup separately from the HRIS import.

Fingercheck supports up to 5 Cost Center fields per employee for labor allocation and job costing. We export all 5 CostCenter fields and map them to custom Job Info fields in BambooHR (BambooHR supports custom fields in the Job Info section). If BambooHR does not have enough standard Job Info fields, we create custom fields during schema setup. For field services customers with 7-level job costing in Fingercheck 360 Plus, the extra cost center levels map to additional custom fields.

Fingercheck custom fields (SETUP > HR > Custom Fields) are customer-defined in name, type, and required status. We export all custom field definitions and their values per employee. In BambooHR, we create matching custom fields during schema setup, mapping Fingercheck field types to allowed BambooHR field types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, dependent dropdown). We flag any Fingercheck field types that BambooHR does not support and discuss transformation options with the customer during scoping.

Fingercheck Time Card records capture punch-in/out timestamps, breaks, overtime flags, and job costing associations per pay period. We export Time Cards by date range aligned to pay period boundaries. For BambooHR Time Tracking (add-on module), time entries are imported by date and employee with hours, break deductions, and overtime flags preserved. We map Fingercheck punch timestamps to BambooHR timeEntryDate and hours fields. Note that BambooHR Time Tracking does not support the same job costing depth as Fingercheck; cost center associations may need to be mapped to custom fields rather than native time entry properties.

Fingercheck's scheduling module handles shift assignments, conflict detection, and shift notes for deskless and field workers. BambooHR does not have a native scheduling module; schedule data is documented as a written summary delivered alongside the migration. We export active schedules as of the migration date and deliver a CSV of employee, date, shift start, shift end, and notes. The customer's admin can recreate scheduling in a third-party tool (When I Work, Deputy, Homebase) or manually in BambooHR's time-off calendar for reference.

Fingercheck HR Documents (employee files, certifications, I-9s, policy acknowledgements, onboarding paperwork) are exported per employee as file attachments. We deliver these as a folder-per-employee archive aligned to BambooHR's document naming convention. BambooHR supports document uploads attached to employee profiles. We map Fingercheck document categories to BambooHR document types (new hire documents, certifications, policies). PDFs are delivered in original format for re-upload through BambooHR's document management interface.

Fingercheck state and federal tax withholding tables per employee are audited during export. The documented Connecticut tax table save bug means we flag any Employee record with a CT tax location for missing tax election data. We export state, federal, and local withholding elections as of the migration date. BambooHR Payroll (if activated) sets up withholding during implementation; we deliver the tax election data as a configuration reference for the customer's BambooHR admin or payroll specialist to enter post-migration. Fingercheck's QuickBooks Online payroll export configuration is documented separately as a setup item for BambooHR's accounting integration.

Fingercheck PTO usage and accrual policies per employee (accrual rates, carryover rules, current balances) are exported as of the migration date. We map accrual types (vacation, sick, personal) to BambooHR time-off types and set current balances on the migration date. Carryover rules and accrual rate schedules are delivered in a written accrual policy document for the customer's BambooHR admin to configure in BambooHR's Time Off settings. Historical time-off usage logs migrate as time-off history entries.

Fingercheck Workflow Automations (hiring sequences, onboarding triggers, offboarding tasks, expense approvals, HR notifications) do not export via API. We document every active workflow with its trigger conditions, downstream actions, and sequence logic during the discovery call. The customer receives a written Workflow Inventory document with a recommended BambooHR Workflow equivalent for each Fingercheck automation. Rebuild is a customer action item, not a FlitStack AI deliverable. Fingercheck 360 Plus Workflow Automations require the most extensive rebuild effort.

Fingercheck clock credentials (employee ID for biometric or mobile punch) do not map to BambooHR since BambooHR does not have a native time clock module. We deliver the employee ID list as a reference file. If the customer continues using Fingercheck's time clocks post-migration for punch-to-payroll, the Fingercheck employee ID remains active and is separate from BambooHR. If the customer switches to a BambooHR-compatible time tracking solution (When I Work, Deputy), new employee IDs are provisioned in that system.
