Odoo Payroll: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Payroll computes salaries from contracts, worked time and inputs through country salary rules — the engine is generic, the localization package does the statutory math.
Whether it fits out of the box depends on your country package's depth; where it thins out (WPS files, GOSI, PCB and similar), we extend the rules — our Gulf country pages show that work in detail.
