What’s New in Human Resources?
Odoo 19 brings numerous improvements in human resource management. The goal is simple: to simplify employee management, automate payroll, and provide better visibility for both managers and employees.
Here’s an overview of the key new features that make Odoo 19 a real asset for HR departments.
Revamped and Automated Payroll
Odoo 19 has completely redesigned its payroll module to make it simpler, faster, and, above all, compliant with legal obligations. With enhanced automation, salary calculations, contributions, and payslips are now a breeze. Gone are the days of tedious manual data entry prone to errors : everything is now automatically calculated.
The interface has been modernized and is now more intuitive, offering an optimal user experience. Moreover, improved integration with other apps (contracts, attendance, absences) ensures smooth and coherent HR management.
Result: Less time spent on manual entries and greater reliability in your calculations.
Swissdec Certification (Switzerland)
A major new feature for Swiss companies: Odoo payroll is now Swissdec certified. This guarantees full compliance with Swiss standards, with automated declarations that are legally validated.
This certification allows Swiss companies to safely benefit from Odoo Payroll. It’s a real time-saver and reduces the risk of errors in a demanding legislative environment.
Employee Versioning: Employee History
Odoo 19 introduces a new feature called employee versioning, which tracks every change made to employee information (salary, position, manager, etc.). This feature ensures complete transparency by recording the history of these changes and allows you to easily retrieve the information at any time.
Grâce à cette innovation, les responsables RH bénéficient d’un outil de suivi complet dans le temps, apportant une plus grande auditabilité et une meilleure gestion des informations des collaborateurs.
Une grande nouveauté pour les entreprises suisses : la paie Odoo est désormais certifiée Swissdec. Cela garantit une parfaite conformité avec les normes suisses, avec des déclarations automatisées et validées légalement.
Cette certification permet aux sociétés helvétiques de bénéficier des avantages d’Odoo Payroll en toute sécurité. Un vrai gain de temps et une réduction du risque d’erreurs dans un contexte législatif exigeant.
Improved Attendance Tracking
The attendance module has also been optimized. Entry and exit management is now more precise, and the tracking of worked hours has become more detailed. Direct integration with payroll allows managers to have a real-time overview of their teams’ attendance, and the data is automatically used for payslip calculations.
Managers can now better track employee attendance, making attendance management a simple and transparent process.
Simplified Time Off Management
The time off module has been improved as well, with more flexible vacation management features. For instance, overlapping vacations are now better handled, and public holidays are automatically added when setting up the base. The clearer interface for request and approval management enhances the employee experience while simplifying tracking for HR managers.
Recruitment: A True Daily Tool
The Recruitment module has evolved into a genuine talent management tool. With the “Talent pool”, recruiters can keep interesting candidates who weren’t selected for future opportunities. Recruitment pipeline tracking has also been optimized, with clearer management of stages and evaluations.
This now complete tool is designed to assist HR teams throughout the recruitment process, not just for occasional hires.
Better Integration Between HR Modules
One of the biggest advantages of this version is the improved integration between various HR modules. Contract data directly feeds into payroll, and hours and absences automatically impact payslips. No more double data entry : each module now communicates effectively with the others, ensuring consistent and smooth management.
This integration between modules makes Odoo 19 much more powerful and helps streamline HR management, while increasing the productivity of HR teams.
Conclusion
With Odoo 19, human resources management reaches a new level. From more reliable payroll to enhanced compliance (with Swissdec certification), to modern tools for managing attendance, absences, and recruitment, Odoo 19 offers HR managers a complete and integrated environment.
Ces nouveautés transforment Odoo en véritable hub RH, pensé pour simplifier la vie des entreprises et améliorer l’expérience des collaborateurs. Une solution tout-en-un qui facilite la gestion quotidienne des RH et permet aux entreprises de se concentrer sur ce qui compte vraiment : leurs talents. Et pour les entreprises déjà sous Odoo, une migration vers Odoo 19 permet de bénéficier immédiatement de ces améliorations RH sans repartir de zéro.
