There is a list of Available Variables which will be used to specify the field's value (as python code) on Salary Rules.

Available variables:

• payslip: object containing the payslips.
• employee: hr.employee object.
• contract: hr.contract object.
• rules: object containing the rules code (previously computed).
• categories: object containing the computed salary rule categories (sum of amount of all rules belonging to that category).

You can configure the following information:-

• Name :  A name for the Salary Rule.
• Code :  A code for the salary rule. It must be unique.
• Category : Select a category for a rule.
• Sequence : Provide the sequence(integer).

Note

Sequence

Sequence plays a major role in the calculation and appearance of payslip lines. For example, a sequence defined on a rule calculating the Gross should always be greater than the sequence's given on Allowance's rules, else it won't be considered in the calculation of Gross value.

• Active : If False, it will allow you to hide the salary rule without removing it.
• Appears on Payslip : If False, it won't appear on the payslip but will be considered in the calculation.
• Condition Based on : Consider a rule on the basis of some condition.

1. Always True : As the name implies the condition is always True and hence rule will always be considered in the Payslip calculation.
2. Range : The rule will be considered if it falls under a particular range.

• Range Based on : You can provide the base value for range by using the above mentioned variable. For example, contract.wage. This will take the wages mentioned on contract.
• Minimum Range : The minimum amount applied for this rule.
• Maximum Range : The maximum amount applied for this rule.

1. Python Expression : You can specify your condition by python expression.

• Python Condition : The expression can be written using the above mentioned variable. For example, result = rules.NET > categories.NET * 0.10 .

• Contribution Register : Eventual third party involved in the salary payment of the employees.Used in report.
• Amount Type : The computation type for the rule amount. There are three types available to compute the amount.i.e Fixed Amount, Percentage, Python Code.

1. Fixed Amount : As the name indicates the amount is fixed.

• Quantity : For e.g. A rule for Meal Voucher having a fixed amount of 1€ per worked day can have its quantity defined in expression like worked_days.WORK100.number_of_days which will then be multiplied with the amount.
• Fixed Amount : An amount for a rule.

1. Percentage : Here you can calculate the amount through percentage.

• Percentage based on : You can provide a base value for type percentage by using the above mentioned variable. For example, If you want to give 5% of wages for Provident Fund then you have to specify percentage based on as contract.wage.
• Quantity : For example, a rule for Meal Voucher having a fixed amount of 1€ per worked day can have its quantity defined in expression like worked_days.WORK100.number_of_days which will then be multiplied with the calculated percentage amount.
• Percentage : Provide Percentage.

1. Python Code : You can specify your condition by python expression.

• Python condition : For example, If you want to calculate Gross then you can write your expression like result = categories.BASIC + categories.ALW where BASIC and ALW are salary rule categories code.

• Child Rules : It is used to assign child rules.
• Accounting : It is used to link the salary rule with the debit, credit and tax accounts.
• Inputs : It is used when you want to provide some Input.
  • Description : Description for an input.
