Payroll

Payroll configured for each country you operate in

Payroll and HR rules differ by country. We configure localization for each entity during implementation and confirm the rules with your team.

  • Salary structures, allowances, deductions and overtime rules configured per company
  • Arabic and English payslips
  • Payroll journal entries posted to Odoo Accounting
  • Payroll rules and localization set up during implementation for the countries you operate in
  • Test payroll run before go-live; support through the first payroll cycle

Egyptian payroll and social insurance

For Egyptian entities we set up salary structures, social insurance and income tax rules during implementation. Each rule is confirmed with your HR and finance team and checked in a test payroll run before the first live cycle, rather than assumed.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE

Payroll and HR rules differ by country. If you operate in more than one, we configure each entity separately and confirm its rules with you during discovery.

Regulations change. We confirm the current scope with you at the start of the project.

Odoo HR & Payroll questions

What is Odoo HR?

An integrated HR application inside Odoo ERP covering employees, attendance, leave, recruitment, appraisals and payroll, connected to accounting, projects and operations.

Can employees request leave from their phones?

Yes. Employees submit requests through the mobile app or web portal, and managers approve them through configurable workflows.

Does Odoo support Arabic payslips?

Yes. Payslips can be generated in Arabic and English from the same system. Templates are configured during implementation.

Can attendance devices connect to Odoo?

Attendance device integration is possible in many setups and is scoped during discovery, including which devices and what middleware is needed.

Does payroll post to accounting?

Yes. Payroll journal entries are posted to Odoo Accounting.

How is payroll set up for our country?

We configure salary structures and local payroll rules for each entity during implementation and confirm them with your HR and finance team. See our implementation process.

How long does implementation take, and what does it cost?

Both depend on scope: modules, number of entities and countries, data volume, devices and customization. We agree timeline and investment after discovery.

How does Odoo HR compare with ZenHR?

Both are used for HR and payroll. The main difference is scope. Odoo HR is one app inside a full ERP, so payroll entries post to Odoo Accounting and HR data sits alongside projects and operations. ZenHR is a standalone HR platform, which suits dedicated HR needs but relies on integrations for accounting and operations.

Does Odoo handle Egyptian payroll and social insurance?

We configure Egyptian payroll rules, including social insurance and income tax, during implementation and confirm them with your HR and finance team. We test them in a trial payroll before you go live, rather than assuming rates or rules.
