Odoo Employees review
An Odoo employee-records app with onboarding workflows and links to other HR apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Odoo Employees organizes employee profiles, employment information, contracts, departments, and reporting relationships. It suits organizations already working in Odoo that need a central place for employee records and contract administration, with onboarding and offboarding plans alongside those records. The app also supports permitted employee editing of personal data and access rights for employees, managers, and team leads. Working schedules, time zones, and work locations add operational context to each profile.
Its strongest fit is as part of Odoo’s connected HR suite rather than as a standalone, all-purpose HRIS. Employee records link to Odoo Recruitment, Expenses, Appraisals, Time Off, Payroll, and Attendances. Onboarding and offboarding plans sequence activities across Odoo applications, while the Employees app itself covers profiles, contracts, department organization, and org charts. Buyers looking for payroll, attendance, or time-off workflows should account for those as separate Odoo applications rather than assume they are all included in Employees.
The published plans include One App Free, with one app, unlimited users, and Odoo Online; Standard, with all apps on Odoo Online; and Custom, which adds Odoo Studio, multi-company support, and External API, and allows Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, or on-premise deployment. The pricing page shows yearly and monthly per-user rates, and yearly pricing is subject to a 12-month initial-user discount. This makes the free option a way to start with one app, while broader suite coverage and deployment choices depend on the plan. Choose Employees if Odoo is already central to your HR workflows; teams seeking a self-contained HRIS with broader functionality outside Odoo should consider alternatives.
