Features & Usage

You can:

• Define companies

• Assign employees (a user model is created automatically)

• Define payment types

• Create payments

• Create custom extra fields for COMPANIES, EMPLOYEES and PAYMENTS

• Create global attributes for those custom fields (dropdown fields)

• Generate custom payslips

• Print those payslips or export them as styled PDF documents

There’s already a print-ready template for your payslips, which should cover mainly used payslips. If you want to you can override the template with your own styles. Find it here payslip/templates/payslip/payslip.html.

You can also create your own CSS, but be sure to cover print styles. Find it here static/payslip/css/payslip.css.

After you have added the basic company information needed in your template, you can add payments and employees and start paysliping. :) Have fun with it.

Contribute

If you want to contribute to this project, please perform the following steps:

# Fork this repository
# Clone your fork
$ mkvirtualenv -p python2.7 payslip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./payslip/tests/runtests.sh
# You should get no failing tests

$ git co -b feature_branch master
# Implement your feature and tests
# Describe your change in the CHANGELOG.txt
$ git add . && git commit
$ git push origin feature_branch
# Send us a pull request for your feature branch

Whenever you run the tests a coverage output will be generated in tests/coverage/index.html. When adding new features, please make sure that you keep the coverage at 100%.

If you are making changes that need to be tested in a browser (i.e. to the CSS or JS files), you might want to setup a Django project, follow the installation instructions above, then run python setup.py develop. This will just place an egg-link to your cloned fork in your project’s virtualenv.
