Context

By preparation of payroll, we mean the gathering of relevant data to process a payslip. It is a very distinct process from the actual computing of payroll.

Many companies outsource the production of their payslips. However, the worked hours and other data required to produce payslips is kept somewhere else.

Module Design

The module defines a new model Payroll Entry (or Payroll Entry).

This model is intended to be exported as data for an external payroll system. It can also be used to import data from an external system so that the computation can be done in Odoo.

The module does not define how to generate the payroll entries. This should be implemented in another module.

User Groups

Two new user groups are added:

• Payroll Preparation / User
• Payroll Preparation / Manager

The User has access in Read mode to the application. The Manager has access in Read / Write / Create mode to the application.

By default, a payroll entry can not be deleted (except by a superuser).

Usage

In the main application panel, I see a new entry Payroll Preparation.

When entering the application, I see the list of payroll entries.

Payroll Periods

As Payroll Preparation / Manager, under Configuration / Payroll Periods, I can configure the available payroll periods.

For more information about payroll periods, see the module payroll_period.
