Open source HR and payroll software

Self-hosted HRIS, leave, attendance and payroll with Frappe HR, OrangeHRM or Odoo, and how employee data rules, record retention and identity integration shape the rollout.

Open source HR software and GDPR for employee data

Running HR records in self-hosted Frappe HR, OrangeHRM or Odoo under GDPR: lawful basis and retention per record type, access by managers and HR roles, data subject requests from employees, special category data such as health and leave reasons, and deletion after exit.

Payroll record retention in self-hosted HR systems

Keeping US payroll and employment tax records long enough in self-hosted HR and payroll software: FLSA's three-year rule, the IRS four-year rule, what records each covers, archiving leavers, backups and producing records for an audit.

Self-hosted HR software for EU data sovereignty

Keeping employee files, payroll and performance data on EU infrastructure under the company's control: self-hosted Frappe HR or Odoo against US-based HR SaaS, works council expectations, hosting and support access, and integration with local payroll providers.

Open source HR software for public sector organizations

HR records, leave and attendance for agencies and municipalities on self-hosted software: procurement and hosting rules, integration with existing payroll and identity systems, role-based access, audit trails and records retention.

Open source HR and attendance for manufacturing shift work

Attendance, shifts, overtime and leave for plant workers with self-hosted Frappe HR or Odoo: check-in methods including geolocation and devices, shift rosters, payroll inputs, kiosk access for staff without email and multi-site rollout.

HR system consolidation after a merger

Bringing two workforces onto one self-hosted HR platform: employee master data mapping, leave balance and contract carry-over, payroll cutover timing, employee consent and notice, and keeping the old system for records retention.

HR and payroll software requirements checklist

Requirements to settle before choosing Frappe HR, OrangeHRM, Odoo or an HR SaaS: countries and payroll rules, leave policies, attendance capture, self-service and mobile, approvals, integrations with accounting and identity, retention and reporting.
