Django Payslip

A reusable Django app that allows you to enter salary data of your employees so that authorized persons can view, print and export (PDF) their payslips.

pip install Django
pip install django-libs
pip install python-dateutil
pip install WeasyPrint

Add payslip to your INSTALLED_APPS:

    ...,
    'payslip',
)

)

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.
