"accounted for"

Question

I have one more question today! =] How might one say "to be accounted for" in Spanish?

---

---

In example: Make sure that all of the employees are accounted for.

---

I would say something like "Asegurarse de que todos los empleados están presentes", however the phrase "to be accounted for" in English indicates that the location of all are known, whether or not they are present. Can anyone help me with a better way to translate the example sentence? Another guess of mine is: "Asegurarse de que se conoce la suerte de todos los empleados".

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

Perhaps you could say: "Asegúrate de que todos los empleados están localizados" (You know where they are although they are not present) or "Asegúrate de que todos los empleados están localizables" (You can contact with them at any moment, just in case you need them).

Answer 2

Well I like your están presentes, that seems to work fine, also just for future reference I know that you can say ¿falta alguien? to ask Is everyone accounted for? so I guess you could say 'que no falta a nadie'.

Or just a simple 'que sepan dónde están todos'.

In other contexts tener en cuenta or tomar en consideración works.

Cerciorarse is a kewl verb that might work too lol
