How to Build Payslip Templates and Payroll Columns

Overview

A payslip template decides which earnings, deductions and calculated values appear on a payslip and how they are laid out. Payroll columns are the building blocks, each with a calculation method.

Steps

1. Go to HR Payroll > Pay Slip Templates (/admin/hr_payroll/payslip_templates_manage).
2. Add payroll columns, choosing a method/function for each calculated value (e.g. gross, net, tax).
3. Assemble the columns into a template.
4. Set a matching PDF payslip template for the printable version.
5. Preview the template before using it for a real payroll run.

Tips

• Build one template carefully and reuse it every month for consistent payslips.
