Hibou Odoo Suite: Payroll Modules: Workers Compensation Class

The purpose of this documentation is to outline the use cases and processes associated with Hibou's Workers Compensation Class and Workers Compensation Class - Payroll modules.

The Workers Compensation Class module adds a new field to employee contracts to keep track of Workers' Comp. class codes and rates.  Paired with Workers Compensation Class - Payroll, payslips can be linked with the contract's workers compensation codes. This is useful for reporting as well as grouping payslips. Additionally, salary rules can now make use of the Workers Comp code and rate.

First things first, we need to install the module! Navigate to the Apps Application and search 'Workers' Compensation Class'. When Ready, hit the Install button.

If you would like to link payslips with an employee contract's workers compensation code, also install the Workers' Compensation Class - Payroll module.

To get started, navigate to the Employees application.

Once there select Configuration followed by Workers Comp. Codes. Then, hit the Create button. 

Here you will find the form for creating a new Workers Compensation Code with the following fields:

• Active: Keep check if you intend on using this code

• Code: The code itself

• Name: The name of the Code, for example Hospital: Processional

• Rate: The rate for this code

From the top menu of the Employees application select Contracts. Select an existing contract or make a new one by hitting the create button. 

Underneath the Contract Type on the employee contract form you will find the new Workers Comp. Code field. Hit the edit button and select an existing code from the dropdown menu, or create one on the fly by selecting Create and Edit... from the bottom. When finished, hit the save button.

Once a Workers Compensation Code is added to an Employee's contract, it becomes available when creating employee payslips. Navigate to the Payroll application.

Once there hit the Create button to make a new payslip. Select an employee from the dropdown menu that has a Workers Comp. Code added to their employee contract. Once the employee has been selected, this field will be filled in.

The `hr_workers_comp` module adds a new model Workers Compensation Class with name, code and rate fields as well as a form view for this new model. Additionally, it adds a Many2one field for the workers compensation class code to the HR Contract model and adds it to the form view for contracts.

The `hr_workers_comp_payroll` module adds a Many2one field for the contracts workers compensation code to Payslips and adds this new field to the payslip form.
