This feature is available on the Pro Plan.
If you're on the Pro plan, you can automatically sync completed background checks from Checkr with your Requirements checklist in Timecounts. This makes it easy to track compliance without manual updates, and ensures you get notified when checks expire.
How to enable auto-sync with your Requirements checklist
First, make sure you’ve connected your Checkr account to Timecounts. This is required before you can add the Checkr requirement.
Then go to Settings → Checklist → Requirements and select Add Requirement in the top right. Search for Checkr and select Background Check with Checkr. Timecounts will then sync the completion status from Checkr automatically.
As with other requirements, you can set how often it renews and when the team is reminded, so it fits your organization’s timeline. Most nonprofits run background checks on volunteers annually, especially for roles involving vulnerable populations or access to sensitive information. For lower-risk or occasional volunteer roles, checks every two to three years may be sufficient. It is also a good idea to run a new background check if a volunteer moves into a higher-responsibility position. Always check local regulations or funder requirements, as some programs, particularly those involving children or healthcare, may require more frequent screening.
That’s it! As soon as a background check is completed via Checkr, the checklist will update automatically—hands-off and fully tracked.
