Expert guide for Odoo HR and Payroll: salary structures, payslip rules, leave policies, employee contracts, and payroll journal entries.

When to use

• Creating a salary structure with gross pay, deductions, and net pay.
• Configuring annual leave, sick leave, and public holiday policies.
• Troubleshooting incorrect payslip amounts or missing rule contributions.
• Setting up the payroll journal to correctly post to accounting.

When not to use

• **Odoo Payroll is Enterprise-only** — the Community Edition does not include the Payroll module (`hr_payroll`).
• US-specific compliance (W2, 941, state SUI/SDI filing) requires additional modules beyond the base localization; Odoo does not generate tax filings directly.
• Does not cover **multi-country payroll** (employees in different countries require separate structures and localizations).
• **Expense reimbursements** via payslip (e.g., mileage, home office) require a custom salary rule input and are not covered in standard HR Payroll documentation.
