Payroll

Odoo Payroll calculates employee pay based on worked time, contracts and benefits, and produces payslips ready for processing. It suits HR and finance teams who want payroll figures generated directly from the same data used for attendance, time off and contracts.

What Odoo Payroll does

Payroll draws on data from Employees, Time Off, Attendances and Planning to work out how much each employee has worked, then applies the rules in their contract to calculate pay. Payslips can be generated individually or in batches, and posted through to Accounting.

Key capabilities

• Manage employee contracts, including salary structure and working schedule
• Generate work entries from attendance, planning or timesheet data
• Create and process payslips individually or in batches
• Handle salary attachments, such as deductions agreed in advance
• Post payroll entries to Accounting and arrange payment by bank transfer

Country specific rules

Payroll relies on a country specific localisation module to apply the correct tax and social security rules, and the modules available vary by country. Before relying on Payroll for statutory compliance in a particular country, confirm that a suitable localisation exists and covers your needs, or speak to your Odoo partner about the options.

Frequently asked questions

Does Payroll work the same way in every country?

No, Payroll needs a country specific localisation module to apply local tax, benefit and reporting rules correctly, and coverage varies by country.

What has to be resolved before payslips can be processed?

Any errors or conflicts in employees’ work entries must be resolved first, since payslips are calculated from that data.
