Payslip adjustments¶

A payslip adjustment (hr.salary.attachment, Salary Attachment in older versions) is an amount to take into account in the payslips of an employee during a period: a garnishment ordered by a court, the repayment of an advance or a loan, a child support, a recurring allowance... It does not compute anything by itself: it feeds the input of a salary rule, and the rule computes the payslip line.

Adjustments¶

employee_id, company_id, description: The employee, the company and the label of the adjustment (the label of the input line).
salary_rule_id: The salary rule receiving the amount. Only rules flagged input_usage_payslip (Available on Payslip) and belonging to a structure of the structure type of the employee can be selected (see Rules as inputs). There is no adjustment type model: the rule is the type. salary_rule_warning warns when no structure of the employee's structure type has a rule with the same code flagged Available on Payslip: the adjustment would have no effect.
amount, is_recurring: The amount, strictly positive, in the unit of the rule (its input_suffix, e.g. days or %; a currency amount otherwise). A recurring adjustment (is_recurring) adds amount to every payslip until it is closed. A one-time adjustment adds its remaining amount to the next payslip.
paid_amount, remaining_amount: What has been paid so far, and what remains: amount - paid_amount for one-time adjustments, amount for recurring ones.
date_start, date_estimated_end, date_end, state: The adjustment applies to the payslips ending after date_start; date_estimated_end (recurring adjustments only) and date_end stop it. state is 1_open (Running) or 2_close (Done); action_close() closes the adjustment with today as date_end.
sequence: The priority of payment when the payslip cannot pay all the adjustments of a rule (lower first).
beneficiary_bank_account_id: The bank account to which the payment reports send the amount (e.g. the child support).

is_seized tells whether the rule is a seizure of salary, i.e. one of its categories is returned by hr.salary.rule.category._get_seized_categories(), a hook empty by default and overridden by localizations (e.g. l10n_be_hr_payroll).

From the adjustment to the payslip¶

Input lines. When the input lines of a payslip are computed, the running adjustments of the employee overlapping the payslip period, whose rule code belongs to a rule of the payslip structure flagged Available on Payslip, are grouped by rule code. Each group gives one input line: its amount is the sum of their remaining amounts (_get_active_amount(), negated on credit notes) and its name joins their descriptions. These lines are rebuilt each time the inputs are recomputed; the input lines of other rules (entered manually) are kept.
Computation. The salary rule reads the input, usually as a negative amount for a deduction: result = -inputs['ATTACH_SALARY'].amount.
Payment. When the payslip is marked as paid, the total of its lines with the rule code (not the input amount: the rule may have capped it) is recorded on the adjustments with record_payment(). The amount is distributed by sequence: each priority group receives its remaining amounts if possible, or a prorated part of what is left. One-time adjustments whose remaining amount reaches 0 are closed.

Creating or modifying an adjustment recomputes the draft payslips of the employee it concerns.

Example

With l10n_bd_hr_payroll, whose ATTACH_SALARY rule deducts its input:

from datetime import date

rule = env.ref('l10n_bd_hr_payroll.'
               'l10n_bd_hr_payroll_structure_bd_employee_salary_attachment_of_salary_rule')
loan, court = env['hr.salary.attachment'].create([{
    'employee_id': employee.id,
    'salary_rule_id': rule.id,
    'description': 'Car loan',
    'amount': 3000,
    'date_start': date(2026, 9, 1),
}, {
    'employee_id': employee.id,
    'salary_rule_id': rule.id,
    'description': 'Court order',
    'amount': 500,
    'is_recurring': True,
    'date_start': date(2026, 9, 1),
}])

payslip = env['hr.payslip'].create({
    'employee_id': employee.id,
    'date_from': date(2026, 9, 1),
    'date_to': date(2026, 9, 30),
})
payslip.compute_sheet()
payslip.input_line_ids.mapped(lambda line: (line.code, line.name, line.amount))
# [('ATTACH_SALARY', 'Car loan, Court order', 3500.0)]
payslip.line_ids.filtered(lambda line: line.code == 'ATTACH_SALARY').total
# -3500.0

payslip.action_payslip_done()
payslip.action_payslip_paid()
(loan | court).mapped(lambda a: (a.paid_amount, a.remaining_amount, a.state))
# [(3000.0, 0.0, '2_close'), (500.0, 500.0, '1_open')]

The payslip of the next month only receives the recurring adjustment: [('ATTACH_SALARY', 'Court order', 500.0)].

ملاحظة

A one-time adjustment is paid in a single payslip, for its whole remaining amount. To spread a repayment over several months, use a recurring adjustment with an estimated end date.

Inputs can also be set without adjustment, on a single payslip: use payslip._set_input_value(code, amount) (see Payslips), or hr.payslip.input records pointing to the rule.
