Small and mid-sized businesses with hourly, shift, and field teams can now offer attractive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with contributions handled inside Fingercheck payroll NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Fingercheck, the payroll, time tracking, scheduling, and HR platform for hourly and field workforces, today announced a partnership with Meridio, a health benefits provider for small and growing businesses. Fingercheck clients can now offer their employees affordable medical, dental, and vision plans, with benefit contributions running through the same platform they already use to track time and run payroll. Health coverage remains out of reach for many employees at smaller businesses. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 56% of workers at establishments with fewer than 50 employees have access to employer-sponsored medical benefits, compared with 91% at employers with 500 or more. That gap lands hardest on the businesses Fingercheck serves: construction firms, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, staffing agencies, field service companies, property managers, and other operators whose teams handle the shifts, staff the floors, or otherwise work jobs away from a desk. For those employers, the obstacle has rarely been willingness. It has been cost and complexity: finding plans that fit a small budget and a mixed workforce, then keeping payroll deductions in line with every enrollment change. "For too long, health benefits were built for someone else: the large employer with an HR department and a broker on call," said Dan Kazan, CEO of Fingercheck. "The businesses we serve, the contractors, care facilities, and service companies, have been left to overpay for coverage or go without. Their people deserve better. With Meridio, our clients can offer attractive medical, dental, and vision plans, and Fingercheck makes sure every contribution lands correctly in payroll. Taking care of your team shouldn't depend on how big you are." What Fingercheck clients can now offer Through the partnership, Fingercheck clients can give their teams: * Medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus additional coverage options, for both salaried and hourly employees * Plans that fit the business, with the flexibility to choose the mix of plans that matches their budget and workforce * Lower benefit costs, with Meridio reporting that its clients save an average of 20% annually on health benefits * Contributions connected to payroll, so employee deductions follow benefit elections in Fingercheck without extra work Meridio also provides plan guidance and enrollment support for employers and their employees. "Fingercheck has built a trusted platform that small and mid-sized businesses rely on to manage their people and payroll," said Bobby Sain, CEO of Meridio. "We are delighted to partner with Fingercheck to provide their customers access to more affordable health benefit options and year-round support, with information synced right inside the platform they use every day." Part of a connected benefits offering Fingercheck Benefits, powered by Meridio, joins the workers' compensation and 401(k) options already available on Fingercheck, giving clients one platform to manage pay, time, and benefits for every employee.
