Employee Database and Self-Service
The employee database centralizes all personnel information: personal details, contracts, skills, documents, and organizational hierarchy. The employee self-service portal allows staff to update personal information, view payslips, request leave, and submit expenses without HR intervention.
| HR Function | Without Self-Service | With Self-Service | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave requests | Email to manager | Portal submission + auto-approval | 80% |
| Payslip access | HR prints and distributes | Employee downloads from portal | 95% |
| Address changes | Paper form to HR | Employee updates directly | 90% |
| Expense claims | Paper receipts to finance | Mobile photo upload + approval | 70% |
| Document signing | Print, sign, scan, email | Digital signature in portal | 85% |
Organizational charts generate automatically from the reporting structure defined in employee records. This visualization helps new employees understand the company structure and assists managers with team planning.
Time Tracking and Attendance
Odoo provides multiple time tracking methods: manual timesheet entry, check-in/check-out kiosks, biometric device integration, and GPS-based mobile attendance. Choose the method that fits your workforce type and compliance requirements.
| Method | Best For | Hardware | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timesheet entry | Knowledge workers, consultants | None (web/mobile) | Self-reported |
| Kiosk check-in | Office workers, retail | Tablet or terminal | Location-verified |
| Biometric | Manufacturing, warehouses | Fingerprint/face scanner | Identity-verified |
| Mobile GPS | Field workers, sales reps | Smartphone | Location + time verified |
Overtime rules calculate automatically based on configured work schedules and attendance records. Flexible schedules, compressed workweeks, and shift patterns are all supported through the working schedule configuration.
Payroll Processing and Compliance
Odoo Payroll processes salaries with localized packages that handle country-specific tax calculations, social contributions, and statutory deductions. Salary structures define earning and deduction rules that compute automatically based on employee contracts, attendance, and leave data.
- Salary structures with configurable earning and deduction rules
- Automatic tax calculation based on localized tax tables
- Social contribution calculations (pension, health insurance, unemployment)
- Payslip generation with detailed breakdown of earnings and deductions
- Bank file generation for batch salary payments
- Year-end tax reporting and statutory filing support
Install your country's payroll localization package before configuring salary structures. The localization includes tax tables, contribution rules, and report formats required by local labor laws. Building from scratch risks non-compliance.
Leave Management and Performance Reviews
Leave management handles allocation, requests, and approvals for all leave types: vacation, sick leave, parental leave, and custom categories. Approval workflows route requests to the appropriate manager, and calendar integration shows team availability to prevent scheduling conflicts.
- Configurable leave types with allocation rules and carryover policies
- Automatic accrual calculations based on tenure or contract terms
- Team calendar view showing leave distribution and coverage gaps
- Public holiday calendars per country and work location
- Stress period warnings when too many team members request the same dates
Performance evaluations use customizable templates with criteria, rating scales, and feedback sections. Schedule periodic reviews (quarterly, annual), collect 360-degree feedback from peers, managers, and direct reports, and track goal completion over time. Review data feeds into training needs analysis and career development planning.
