Overview
In Odoo 18, payroll management has been streamlined by centralizing all payroll-related functions, including employee working schedules, within the Payroll module. This eliminates the need to configure working hours separately in the Employee module, making the process more intuitive.
The Payroll Working Schedules feature allows businesses to define work hours, shifts, and break periods while ensuring compliance with labor laws and internal policies. Proper configuration of working schedules is essential for accurate payroll calculations, tracking attendance and overtime, and efficient workforce planning. This update simplifies payroll management, making it more efficient and organized for businesses of all sizes.
How to Configure Working Time
Step 1: Open Working Time Settings
Go to the Payroll module and navigate to the Working Time section to configure employee work schedules.
From this section, you can create a new working schedule by clicking New or modify an existing one. These schedules specify employee work hours, working days, and break times.
Step 2: Create or Edit a Working Schedule
When setting up a schedule, define the following:
Working Hours: Set the start and end time for each workday.
Breaks: Add break times during the workday.
Workdays: Select the specific working days (e.g., Monday to Friday).
You can customize schedules for different employee roles, such as full-time, part-time, or flexible hours, allowing businesses to manage various work patterns efficiently.
Step 3: Link Working Schedules to Employees
Once the working schedules are created, go to Employee Contracts and assign the correct schedule to each employee.
The assigned working schedule defines an employee's official work hours, ensuring accurate attendance tracking and payroll calculations.
CONCLUSION
Odoo 18 enhances workforce management by integrating working schedules with the Planning module. This allows shifts to be automatically assigned based on employee roles, reducing manual effort and ensuring efficient resource allocation. Additionally, businesses can configure part-time and flexible work hours, enabling precise payroll calculations based on a percentage of full-time hours. These features help organizations optimize scheduling, improve efficiency, and ensure accurate payroll processing for different work arrangements.
