Couldn't you just make a custom Language (based on the default English)?
export the English Translation you have to a csv file (>Settings >Translations >Import/Export)
find & replace 'Employee' with 'staff'
import your custom language to odoo
use it (>Settings >Translations >Load a Translation)
That is a good ideal! I'll try that as soon as I can. Thank you.

You can change the label by 2 ways:
1. Inherit the FORM view using XML (Preferred)
<record id="view_attendance_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">hr.attendance.form</field> <field name="model">hr.attendance</field> <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_attendance.view_attendance_form" /> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <xpath expr="//field[@name='employee_id']" position="attributes"> <attribute name="string">Staff</attribute> </xpath> </field> </record>
class hr_attendance(models.Model):
_inherit='hr.attendance'
employee_id = fields.Many2one(string="Staff")
Thanks for you answer! I'm a newbie here and am still learing the in and outs. So in the first listed solution, could you point me towards how to "inherit the form view"? I'm excited to finish getting my installation dialed in and deployed.
copy the record available in Option1 to a view.xml file and add this file in __openerp__.py file. for more info check on how to create a basic module: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/howtos/backend.html

Hi Foster, Are you using odoo in odoo cloud or your own server??
Which model? u just use xpath for that, to rename.
I'm running v8 on my local server. We need to change the label "employee" to "staff" as we have many contractors that we use the HR module to keep track of, however, for legal reasons, they can not be referred to as an employee.
