Overview
Why it matters: Employees expect a clear, professional statement of what they earned and what was deducted. The built-in PDF report gives a standard layout you can email or archive—matching company letterhead and logo from Odoo—without rebuilding payslips in Word each month.
What this covers: From a finalized payslip, use Print to generate the payslip PDF with earnings, deductions, net pay, and company details. Ensure status and figures are correct before printing; update tax and salary setup if numbers look wrong.
This is the employee-facing output of the same data you reviewed in Days Review and salary lines.
