Odoo Australian Payroll
Integration with Odoo
Why we choose to integrate with a 3rd party for Payroll
Odoo does have a payroll module. However, it should more rightly be called a "payroll framework" for building a localised payroll module.
WilldooIT has previous experience writing payroll software, so we know what is involved in writing, maintaining and supporting payroll systems. We therefore decided to integrate with an existing payroll package.
We did our research and determined a product called KeyPay is the most suitable as it is web based, has a well-developed web interface for 3rd parties, and is already being used by other ERP systems.

KeyPay JobKeeper Update
Following the Australian Federal Government's announcement of the JobKeeper program, KeyPay has worked hard to quickly build automated functions to ensure it is as easy as possible to access the JobKeeper Payment for your business.
In doing so, KeyPay has introduced 3 new features.
-
Bulk publishing of Employee Nomination Forms
-
Processing of JobKeeper payment in existing pay runs
-
JobKeeper Eligibility Report
Bulk Publishing of Employee Nomination Forms
In order to access the JobKeeper Payment, employees are required to fill out an Employee Nomination Notice.
Keypay simplifies this process by sending pre-populated electronic forms to all selected employees via email. The employee and employer details will be pre-populated with information as recorded in KeyPay.
Each employee is required to read over the nomination form, ensure that their information is correct, either agree or disagree to be nominated and then electronically sign the form. Their choice (agree or disagree) will be automatically recorded within KeyPay
For employees who have manually filled out the nomination form and returned it, you will be able to manually record their agree/disagree status within KeyPay. Additionally, the information from these forms (Status, Notification, Signature) will be recorded in the pre-existing Employee Details Audit Report
Processing of JobKeeper Payments
KeyPay has added a new pay run action - "Add JobKeeper Payment"
This action has 3 separate options
-
JobKeeper Top-up
-
JobKeeper Start
-
JobKeeper Finish
JobKeeper Top-up is used to Top-up an employee's pay if they earn less than $1500/fortnight. This top-up payment will be recorded JobKeeper-specific payment category. Superannuation is not calculated on this top-up amount by default, but can be enabled if wanted.
JobKeeper Start records the first fortnight that the JobKeeper Payment is processed for each employee, as required by the ATO.
JobKeeper Finish records the final fortnight that the JobKeeper Payment will be processed for an employee. This is only required if an employee is no longer eligible for the JobKeeper payment before the program finishes.
JobKeeper Eligibility Report
The JobKeeper eligibility report is a simple report that helps you to determine if an employee is eligible for the JobKeeper payment.
It will provide 1 of 3 possible results for each employee - "Eligible", "Ineligble" or "Maybe Eligible".
The report does not determine if your business is eligible, nor does it guarantee that an employee tagged as "eligible" is eligible for the payment.
