Odoo Community ships a lean payroll foundation: employee contracts, a basic salary-rule engine, and payslip generation. In practice, growing teams outrun it fast. The out-of-the-box salary structures cannot easily express real-world policy — pro-rated joiners and leavers, graduated overtime bands, attendance-driven deductions, arrears and back-pay, statutory ceilings, loan and advance recovery schedules, or multi-component allowances that interact with one another. Payslip PDFs are generic, batch runs offer little visibility, and consolidated reporting for finance and compliance simply isn't there. The gap is even wider on Community, where the Enterprise payroll app and its localization packs aren't available at all. This is where teams hit a wall and start doing payroll in spreadsheets alongside Odoo — which defeats the point of running an ERP.

Payroll Advanced Features is a made-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE builds specifically to close that gap for your pay policies. Technically, we extend the payroll domain the Odoo way: new and inherited models.Model classes for salary rules, structures, and payslip lines, with computed fields driven by @api.depends and clean compute methods so amounts recalculate deterministically. We add configurable rule parameters and Python-safe rule expressions so your HR team can adjust rates and thresholds without a developer, layer in overtime bands, prorating logic, ceiling caps, and recovery scheduling for loans and advances, and wire attendance or timesheet inputs into worked-days and deduction lines. Everything is packaged as a proper module — a versioned __manifest__.py, ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so payroll data is visible only to authorized HR and finance roles, XML/OWL views and menus for configuration, and QWeb templates for branded, itemized payslips.

On top of the calculation engine we build the reporting and automation that make payroll operational: consolidated payslip registers, cost-by-department and cost-by-analytic breakdowns, period-over-period comparisons, and export-ready summaries for your accountant. Where useful we add automated actions and scheduled jobs — for example generating a monthly batch, flagging exceptions before confirmation, or posting payroll journal entries — and we can expose the results through Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so downstream systems (bank files, government portals, BI tools) can pull clean data. Because it's your own module, it coexists with your existing HR, attendance, and accounting apps rather than fighting them.

Delivery is build-to-order, not an instant download. After a short scoping call we document your salary structures, statutory rules, and edge cases, then confirm the scope in writing. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope depending on policy complexity and how many structures and localizations are involved. We develop against your target Odoo version (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0 Community), validate on a staging database with your real sample data during UAT, and only then install to production with a rollback plan. You receive the full source, documentation, training, and a post-go-live support window.

Pricing starts from $249 (indicative, single-company base scope); additional salary structures, statutory localization depth, multi-company setups, and attendance or third-party integrations increase the quoted scope. We give you a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise on the invoice.
