How Flexigo Spain Equality Pay Register works inside Odoo

What it adds to the Odoo menu

Once installed, a top-level menu called Equality & Pay Compliance appears, with five sections beneath it. This is how the entries are spread across the module's menu tree:

• Equality & Pay Compliance › Registro Retributivo, with two entries below it.
• Equality & Pay Compliance › Plan de Igualdad, with four entries.
• Equality & Pay Compliance › Job Valuation, with one entry.
• Equality & Pay Compliance › Reports, with three entries.
• Equality & Pay Compliance › Compliance, with two entries.

The names mix Spanish and English exactly as they appear in the module. The two sections the code links to Spanish instruments (Spanish Pay Register and Spanish Equality Plan) carry Spanish names; the rest are in English. If you are looking for a screen and cannot find it, check first which of the five sections it fits by name.

What records it keeps under the hood

Each screen works on a data model. These are the models the module defines, with the technical name and the description each one carries in the code:

• paytransparency.registro_retributivo: Registro Retributivo - Spanish Pay Register.
• paytransparency.plan_igualdad: Plan de Igualdad - Spanish Equality Plan.
• paytransparency.plan_igualdad.wizard: Plan de Igualdad Wizard.
• paytransparency.plan_igualdad.wizard.measure: Equality Plan Measure.
• paytransparency.equality_measure: Equality Measure.
• paytransparency.equality_action: Equality Action - Progress Tracking.
• paytransparency.job_valuation: Job Valuation - Point Factor Analysis.
• paytransparency.seniority_level: Seniority Level.
• paytransparency.equality_audit_log: Equality Audit Log - Immutable.
• paytransparency.dsar_request: DSAR Request - GDPR Art. 15.

Two descriptions deserve a careful read. The audit log is described in the code as immutable (Immutable). DSAR requests are labelled with a reference to Article 15 of the GDPR (GDPR Art. 15): that is how the module names the record, not a legal analysis of what the regulation requires of you.

Walking through the module step by step

The steps follow the order in which the sections appear in the menu. It is a tidy way to get to know the module the first time round, not a mandatory working order.

1. Open Equality & Pay Compliance from the Odoo main menu.
2. Go into Registro Retributivo. The list shows the columns Company, Fiscal Year, Job Category, Gender, Seniority Level and Pay Gap (%), plus the New button to create a document. There are two entries under this section: open them to see what each one holds.
3. Move on to Plan de Igualdad, the section with the most entries (four). In the code, the plan corresponds to the model Plan de Igualdad - Spanish Equality Plan, and the module also defines a wizard, Plan de Igualdad Wizard, with its own measure record (Equality Plan Measure).
4. Find the Equality Measures list. Its columns are Plan, Measure Title, Gap Addressed, Target Deadline and Progress Status, with a New button and a search bar. The module stores actions separately, in the model Equality Action - Progress Tracking.
5. Open Job Valuation, which has one entry. The model behind it is described as Job Valuation - Point Factor Analysis. Seniority levels live in a separate model, Seniority Level, which also gives its name to one of the pay register columns.
6. Check Reports. It has three entries; go through them one by one to see what each report presents.
7. Finish in Compliance, with two entries. Among the module's lists are Audit Logs, with a search bar and columns Timestamp, Actor, Model Name, Record ID and Action, and DSAR Requests, with columns Requester Name, Request Date, Response Date, Status and Delivered On.
