Key Features of the Odoo Human Resources Module
From recruitment pipelines and digital onboarding to automated payroll, the Odoo HR module provides your team with every tool they need to manage people efficiently, compliantly, and with full visibility.
Employee Records and HR Master Data
Maintain a complete, centralized record for every employee, including personal details, contract history, job title, department, manager, skills, certifications, documents, and employment history.
Recruitment and Applicant Tracking
Manage the full hiring process from a visual Kanban pipeline, post jobs to your website and major job boards, track every application, schedule interviews, collect structured feedback from interviewers, and send offers.
Onboarding Workflows
Define structured onboarding plans with tasks, document checklists, and activity sequences that trigger automatically when a new employee is hired. IT setup, contract signing, and policy acknowledgements are all tracked.
Leave and Time-Off Management
Employees submit leave requests through the Odoo self-service portal or mobile app. Requests route to the correct approver automatically, balances are updated in real time, and the team calendar is updated.
Attendance and Time Tracking
Track employee attendance via manual check-in, kiosk, or integration with access control hardware. Over time, late arrivals and absences are flagged automatically. Attendance data feeds directly into payroll.
Payroll Processing
Configure salary structures, allowances, deductions, tax rules, and benefit contributions for every employee type and jurisdiction. Monthly payroll is calculated automatically based on approved attendance, leave, overtime, and expense data.
Performance Appraisals
Schedule and manage 360-degree performance reviews, self-assessments, and manager evaluations directly in Odoo. Define rating scales, competency frameworks, and development objectives.
Skills and Training Management
Maintain a skills inventory for every employee. Identify skill gaps, schedule training activities, track completion, and update employee profiles automatically when training is finished.
Expenses Management
Employees submit expense claims through the Odoo Expenses app on desktop or mobile, with receipts attached. Approval workflows route claims to the correct manager, and approved expenses post directly to payroll or accounting, eliminating paper-based expense processes.
Employee Self-Service Portal
Employees access their own payslips, submit leave requests, update personal details, view their appraisal history, and track their training through a personalized self-service portal, reducing routine HR queries and freeing the HR team to focus on higher-value work.
Organizational Charts and Workforce Planning
Live organization charts reflect the current reporting structure at all times. Headcount reports, department structure views, and workforce analytics give HR and leadership the insight to plan hiring, restructuring, and succession with confidence.
Offboarding Workflows
Define structured offboarding checklists for every departure type — resignation, redundancy, or retirement. Asset returns, system access revocation, final payroll calculations, and exit interview scheduling are all tracked to ensure every departure is handled in compliance.
