Odoo Payroll – Error-free, on-time pay runs
Payroll for all companies
Odoo Payroll calculates salaries from employment contracts, attendance and time off. The system is pre-configured for payroll laws in various countries and produces payslips individually or in batch.
Reports, tax filings and journal postings to accounting are available out of the box.
Core capabilities of Odoo Payroll
Contract-based payroll calculation
Each employee has a contract with a salary structure and working schedule. Odoo computes gross, statutory deductions and net pay from the current payroll rules — no manual formulas.
Automatic work-time intake
Hours worked, time off and leave are pulled automatically from Attendances, Time Off and Planning. Errors must be fixed before the pay run is closed.
Pay runs
All payslips for a payroll period are bundled into a pay run. After review and approval, payments can be exported as a batch transfer file for uploading to your bank.
German localisation
The German payroll localisation is pre-configured for local statutory requirements. Salary structures and deduction rules can be adapted to match applicable regulations.
Employee self-service and reports
Employees receive payslips through the self-service portal. Managers have access to headcount reports, labour-cost analytics and annual summaries by department.

Direct feed from HR and time tracking

Tamper-proof payroll history
Every payslip is archived and stored immutably. Queries from year-end close or audits are answered in seconds.
