What changes for you
HR stops chasing paper forms and leave balances. Employees get answers without asking HR. Payroll is based on real attendance and approved leave, and it reaches accounting on its own.
How it works with the other apps
Approved leave and attendance feed into Payroll. Salaries and expense claims post to Accounting. Timesheets from Project show where staff time went.
Common questions
Is Payroll included in the free Community edition?
No. Payroll is part of Odoo Enterprise. Employees, Time Off, Attendance and Expenses are available in both editions.
Can Odoo follow our local payroll rules?
We set up your salary structure, allowances and deductions during implementation, including local items like social insurance. Then we compare the results with your current payroll before go-live.
Can it connect to our fingerprint devices?
Often yes, depending on the device. It usually needs an extra connector. We check your device model during the study and tell you what's possible.
