Before and After
The first payroll module we developed was for v6.0, but until now it was only working for India. The new payroll module will be available in v6.1; cleaned, verified and improved. It has been made generic, so it's up to you to integrate it with the rest of your modules and adapt it to your country's specific payroll rules. This module has been fully developed by OpenERP and it incorporates ideas gathered at the Community & Partner's Days 2011.
Main improvements
Fully integrated and powerful
One of the best features about the new payroll module is that it's easy to customize. So, even your very specific needs can be taken care of. Also, as you are probably used to by now, the module is fully integrated with the rest of the software. For instance, used in parallel with the hr_payroll_account, it automatically generates accounting entries, that you don't have to input manually later.
Another example is the holiday management that is now integrated with the payroll. This means that if one of your employees has a leave request for 5 days, the system will automatically decrease the number of days worked for this particular employee.
Flexible & smart
We have eliminated some extra steps for simple tasks. For example, you can generate a batch of pay slips in one go. In the payslip run you can generate a batch of slips by department, month or by picking a number of employees. This allows you to spend less time and have your payslips ready at once. Also, we have set up the feature that permits you to add multiple contracts for a single employee.
Another useful characteristic is that when you want to get the pay slip ready, you only have to select the right employee and the rest of the data fills in automatically. Needless to say that you have the option to add extra data, like extra hours, sick leave, percentage of sales made in the case of sales people, etc. At the end, you have a clear view of the data input, for a final review before you confirm.
Multiple countries
Currently, we provide payroll rules for Belgium, but you can do it as well for your own country. As it's so easy to customize, the only thing you have to do is paramatization. There's no development required for the payroll engine, but you may have to add some fields on the contract form respective to your country, as well as specific payroll rules.
How will this help your company?
As it is open source, it will be under constant improvement and our community and partners can actively participate to make it viable for their own countries. Also, the database and the rules it requires will continually grow, similar to the case of the Accounting module.
Another considerable advantage is that if you are already running your company on OpenERP, it will save you costs in outsourcing your payroll to a different software solution.
