What it does

Odoo Hr Payroll Setup is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Expert guide for Odoo HR and Payroll: salary structures, payslip rules, leave policies, employee contracts, and payroll journal entries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. It works with Odoo. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accounting and bookkeeping

Example prompts

  • “/odoo-hr-payroll-setup”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-hr-payroll-setup and describe your payroll scenario.
  2. Configure: Receive step-by-step setup for salary rules and leave allocation.
  3. Debug: Paste a salary rule or payslip issue and receive a root cause analysis.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Odoo Hr Payroll Setup loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Odoo HR & Payroll Setup

Overview

This skill guides HR managers and payroll accountants through setting up Odoo HR and Payroll correctly. It covers salary structure creation with Python-computed rules, time-off policies, employee contract types, and the payroll → accounting journal posting flow.

When to Use This Skill

  • 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.

How It Works

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-hr-payroll-setup and describe your payroll scenario.
  2. Configure: Receive step-by-step setup for salary rules and leave allocation.
  3. Debug: Paste a salary rule or payslip issue and receive a root cause analysis.

Examples

Example 1: Salary Structure with Deductions
text
Menu: Payroll → Configuration → Salary Structures → New

Name: US Employee Monthly
Payslip Code: MONTHLY

Rules (executed top-to-bottom — order matters):
  Code  | Name                   | Formula                        | Category
  ----- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------
  BASIC | Basic Wage             | contract.wage                  | Basic
  GROSS | Gross                  | BASIC                          | Gross
  SS    | Social Security (6.2%) | -GROSS * 0.062                 | Deduction
  MED   | Medicare (1.45%)       | -GROSS * 0.0145                | Deduction
  FIT   | Federal Income Tax     | -GROSS * inputs.FIT_RATE.amount| Deduction
  NET   | Net Salary             | GROSS + SS + MED + FIT         | Net

Federal Income Tax: The standard Odoo US localization does not expose a single l10n_us_w4_rate field. Use an input (salary input type) to pass the withholding rate per employee, or install a community US payroll module (OCA l10n_us_hr_payroll) which handles W4 filing status properly.

Example 2: Configure a Time Off Type
text
Menu: Time Off → Configuration → Time Off Types → New

Name: Annual Leave / PTO
Approval: Time Off Officer
Leave Validation: Time Off Officer  (single approver)
  or: "Both" for HR + Manager double approval

Allocation:
  ☑ Employees can allocate time off themselves
  Requires approval: No

Negative Balance: Not allowed (employees cannot go negative)

Then create initial allocations:
Menu: Time Off → Managers → Allocations → New
  Employee: [Each employee]
  Time Off Type: Annual Leave / PTO
  Allocation: 15 days
  Validity: Jan 1 – Dec 31 [current year]
Example 3: Payroll Journal Entry Result
text
After validating a payroll batch, Odoo generates:

Debit   Salary Expense Account     $5,000.00
  Credit  Social Security Payable     $310.00
  Credit  Medicare Payable             $72.50
  Credit  Federal Tax Payable         (varies)
  Credit  Salary Payable           $4,617.50+

When net salary is paid:
Debit   Salary Payable            $4,617.50
  Credit  Bank Account              $4,617.50

Employer taxes (e.g., FUTA, SUTA) post as separate journal entries.

Best Practices

  • ✅ Do: Install your country's payroll localization (l10n_us_hr_payroll, l10n_mx_hr_payroll, etc.) before building custom rules — it provides pre-configured tax structures.
  • ✅ Do: Use salary rule inputs (inputs.ALLOWANCE.amount) to pass variable values (bonuses, allowances, withholding rates) rather than hardcoding them in the rule formula.
  • ✅ Do: Archive old salary structures rather than deleting them — active payslips reference their structure and will break if the structure is deleted.
  • ✅ Do: Always set an active Employee Contract with correct dates and salary before generating payslips.
  • ❌ Don't: Manually edit posted payslips — cancel and regenerate the payslip batch if corrections are needed.
  • ❌ Don't: Use contract.wage in deduction rules without verifying whether the structure is monthly or annual — always check the contract wage period.

Limitations

  • 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.
