Key Features
PIFSS social security salary rules for Kuwaiti nationals — employee and employer shares computed against the statutory contributory-wage cap via @api.depends compute methods on hr.payslip lines
End-of-service indemnity accrual for expatriates: tiered rate by years of service (lower rate on early service, higher rate thereafter) on last drawn wage, per Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010
Resignation vs. termination handling — indemnity entitlement adjusted by leaving cause and completed service, so gratuity settlements are correct at end of contract
National vs. expat policy split driven by employee/contract fields — one payroll run applies PIFSS to citizens and indemnity to expats automatically
KWD salary structures with 3-decimal (fils) precision on every rule, rounding, and journal entry
Configurable salary rule categories: basic, housing, transport, social/other allowances, deductions, and Kuwait-specific contributions
WPS-style bank transfer file export (Wages Protection System) in the fixed-length/CSV layout your Kuwaiti bank requires, generated from an Odoo action
Bilingual (Arabic/English) QWeb payslip report rendering in KWD, plus a PIFSS contribution summary report for filing
PIFSS employer/employee contribution register and end-of-service liability report for finance and audit
Automated actions / scheduled jobs to accrue monthly indemnity provisions and flag contracts approaching statutory thresholds
Accounting integration: contributions and net pay posted to the correct journals and analytic accounts in Odoo Accounting
ir.model.access.csv access rights + record rules restricting payslip, contribution and indemnity data to payroll officers and managers only
Integrates with Odoo Attendance, Time Off and Contracts so unpaid leave, absences and end dates flow into the payslip
XML-RPC / JSON-RPC endpoints so payroll totals, payslips and WPS files can be pushed to or pulled from external systems
Built for Odoo 17, 18 and 19 on Community or Enterprise, packaged as a clean, upgrade-safe addon
About this Product
Kuwait Payroll & Indemnity is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports for your business — it is not an instant download. Kuwait's labour and social-insurance rules do not fit Odoo's generic payroll out of the box: PIFSS (Public Institution for Social Security) contributions apply only to Kuwaiti nationals on a capped wage, expatriates are excluded from social insurance but accrue end-of-service indemnity under the Kuwait Labour Law (Law No. 6 of 2010), and everything settles in Kuwaiti Dinar to three decimal places. This module encodes those rules natively so your HR/payroll team runs a compliant Kuwaiti payroll inside the ERP they already use.
Why Choose Kuwait Payroll & Indemnity
PIFSS social security salary rules for Kuwaiti nationals — employee and employer shares computed against the statutory contributory-wage cap via @api.depends compute methods on hr.payslip lines
End-of-service indemnity accrual for expatriates: tiered rate by years of service (lower rate on early service, higher rate thereafter) on last drawn wage, per Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010
Resignation vs. termination handling — indemnity entitlement adjusted by leaving cause and completed service, so gratuity settlements are correct at end of contract
National vs. expat policy split driven by employee/contract fields — one payroll run applies PIFSS to citizens and indemnity to expats automatically
KWD salary structures with 3-decimal (fils) precision on every rule, rounding, and journal entry
Configurable salary rule categories: basic, housing, transport, social/other allowances, deductions, and Kuwait-specific contributions
We deliver a proper Odoo addon — a versioned __manifest__.py declaring dependencies on hr_payroll and hr_contract, Python models extending models.Model with @api.depends computed fields for gross-to-net, salary rules for each contribution and deduction, XML/OWL views, QWeb payslip and PIFSS reports, and access control via ir.model.access.csv plus record rules that keep payroll data scoped to authorised officers only. It targets Odoo 17, 18 and 19 and works on both Community and Enterprise; where a capability (like the Enterprise payroll app UI) differs, we scope the build to your edition during discovery.
The engine separates two worlds cleanly. For Kuwaiti nationals, salary rules compute the employee and employer PIFSS shares against the statutory contributory-wage cap and post them to the correct accounting entries. For expatriate staff, PIFSS rules are suppressed and an end-of-service indemnity accrual runs instead — computed by service length and last drawn wage, with the tiered rate that Kuwaiti law applies (a lower rate on the first years of service and a higher rate thereafter), and adjusted for resignation-versus-termination cause. National vs. expat behaviour is driven by contract and employee configuration, so a single payroll run handles a mixed workforce correctly.
Payment day is handled too. The module exports a WPS-style bank transfer file (Kuwait's Wages Protection System / fixed-length or CSV layout as your bank requires) so salaries clear through the approved channel, and QWeb payslips render in KWD with Arabic/English labels. Because it is native Odoo, everything is reportable, auditable, and callable over XML-RPC / JSON-RPC for integration with attendance, time-off, or an external HR system.
You buy an outcome, not a template: after purchase ECOSIRE runs a short requirements workshop, builds and configures the module against your actual salary structures and bank, migrates or sets up employee and contract data, validates against sample runs, trains your team, and hands over documented, supported code within a typical 2-4 week lead time.

How Kuwait Payroll & Indemnity Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kuwait localization (PIFSS + indemnity + KWD) | Built-in: PIFSS cap, tiered indemnity and 3-decimal KWD encoded as native salary rules | Possible but you specify and validate every Kuwaiti rule yourself | Rarely Kuwait-specific; usually generic GCC or another country | |
| National vs. expat policy split | Automatic per employee/contract in one payroll run | Must be designed and tested from scratch | Partial — depends on the module; often manual | |
| End-of-service indemnity accrual | Tiered by service and cause, with liability report and monthly provision | You build the tier logic and reporting yourself | ||
| WPS-style bank file export | Configured to your bank's exact layout and test-validated | Format research and file generation is on you | ||
| Fit to your salary structures & bank | Configured to your real data during the build | Fully bespoke but you own all requirements and QA | Configure within the module's fixed assumptions | |
| Delivery model & responsibility | We build, install, train and support — 2-4 week lead time | You hire/manage developers and own the outcome | Instant download, self-install, self-configure | |
| Support, updates & Odoo 17/18/19 compatibility | Support window with fixes and version-compat maintenance | You maintain it every Odoo upgrade | Vendor-dependent; may lag on versions or law changes | |
| Auditability & Odoo-native integration | Native models, QWeb reports, journals, XML-RPC/JSON-RPC access | Native if built well — quality varies |
Frequently Asked Questions about Kuwait Payroll & Indemnity
+How long until the module is delivered and live?
This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. After purchase we run a short requirements workshop, then build, configure and validate against your data. Typical lead time is 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of your salary structures, your bank's WPS format, and data migration. You get a delivery timeline confirmed in writing after the discovery call.
+What support and updates are included after delivery?
Every build includes a post-launch support window covering bug fixes and Odoo minor-version compatibility (17/18/19). During that window we fix defects, adjust rules if your policies change, and keep the addon upgrade-safe. When statutory PIFSS or indemnity parameters change, we update the configuration under support or as a small scoped change. Extended support and enhancement retainers are available.
+Does it handle both Kuwaiti nationals and expatriates in the same payroll run?
Yes. National vs. expat behaviour is driven by employee and contract configuration. In a single run, PIFSS employee/employer contributions apply to Kuwaiti nationals against the contributory-wage cap, while expatriates are excluded from PIFSS and instead accrue end-of-service indemnity by service length and last wage. No separate runs or manual sorting needed.
+How is end-of-service indemnity calculated?
Indemnity follows the Kuwait Labour Law (Law No. 6 of 2010) approach: a tiered rate applied to the last drawn wage across completed years of service — a lower rate on the earlier years and a higher rate thereafter — with the final entitlement adjusted for whether the employee resigns or is terminated and for completed service length. We configure the exact tiers and caps to match your policy and legal interpretation during the build.
+Will the WPS bank file work with our bank in Kuwait?
We build the export to your specific bank's Wages Protection System layout (fixed-length or CSV as required) and validate it with a test file before go-live. If you switch banks or the format changes, updating the layout is a small scoped change under your support window.
+Does it work on Odoo Community or only Enterprise, and which versions?
It is built for Odoo 17, 18 and 19 and can target Community or Enterprise. The core payroll rules, PIFSS, indemnity, reports and WPS export are delivered as a standard addon that extends hr_payroll and hr_contract. Where Enterprise-only UI or apps are relevant, we confirm your edition during discovery and scope the build accordingly so nothing depends on a module you don't license.
