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.

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.
