Odoo Human Resource Management Features

Payroll
Odoo Payroll provides companies with efficient end-to-end payroll processing and management to pay workers in the United States. The full-service solution is kept up-to-date with payroll calculation changes, is compliant in all U.S. states and local jurisdictions and automatically files payroll taxes. Real-time posting to the general ledger keeps accounts in balance, financial reports accurate and companies in control of their payroll expenses.
Benefits
Employees can search for, compare, and enroll in health insurance plans within Odoo. Integration with Odoo Payroll ensures employee deductions and company contributions are accurately reflected in the employees’ pay and automatically posted to the Odoo general ledger. This eliminates the need to track health insurance costs in a separate application and gives financial leaders the insights they need to make more informed workforce and benefits planning decisions.
Performance Management
Odoo Performance Management provides a central place to easily administer the performance review process that not only delivers greater efficiency but keeps employees engaged via goal creation, progress monitoring and recognition for achievements.
Workforce Management
Shift Scheduling, Time and Attendance, Wage Calculations. Odoo Workforce Management delivers a single solution to streamline shift scheduling, easily capture time and attendance across your workforce and calculate wages.
Time-Off Management. Automate the process for employees to request time off and managers to approve requests. Time-off balances are automatically updated once requests are approved, and companies can set controls to enforce policies so employees aren’t taking too much time off —or the company isn’t paying out too much when an employee leaves.
Compensation and Benefits Tracking. Track employee compensation and benefits information for reporting and analysis. HR admins and managers gain a visual timeline to see when changes to compensation occurred throughout the employee lifecycle.
Workforce Engagement
Self Service. Through the Employee Center, both employees and managers have self-service capabilities to perform common tasks — update addresses, add bank accounts, view time off balances, monitor goal progress and see copies of paychecks and expense reports. Managers can initiate changes, such as promotions or transfers, and approve time-off requests.
Recognition. Odoo provides a way to foster a positive work culture, increase retention and decrease turnover costs by enabling employees to publicly recognize their colleagues for their contributions and achievements. Use data from Kudos to build performance metrics and identify top talent during performance reviews.
Onboarding/Offboarding. Create onboarding checklists to help new hires feel welcome and be productive immediately. Integrated purchasing requests ensure employee equipment is ready on Day 1. Offboard leavers using checklists to ensure company property is returned, employees receive final paychecks and exit interviews are completed.
Workforce Planning
Combined with Odoo Planning and Budgeting, companies can create budgets and hiring plans by automatically modeling future workforce needs using actual payroll, expense and headcount information.
Analytics
HR Analytics provides role-based dashboards for HR and other authorized users to monitor workforce performance. With 15 industry-leading KPIs, HR leaders can analyze headcount, turnover trends, demographics, revenue per active employee, expense per active employee and profit per active employee. Drill down on any of these metrics by department, employee class or group, location or subsidiary. These powerful and visual analytics help break down departmental and data barriers to improve communications for faster, more confident workforce decision-making and planning.
