German Pay Transparency Act (EntgTranspG) compliance inside Odoo
Meet the German Pay Transparency Act (Entgelttransparenzgesetz) without leaving Odoo: employees' right to information, the 5-step verification procedure, the Lagebericht report and BMFSFJ XML export. Built to get you ahead of EU Directive 2023/970.
OPL-1 licence - full source code included - invoice - automatic delivery of the module for your Odoo version.
This module is free, but it is part of a suite
FlexigoTech Pay Equity - Germany (0 EUR) is the German country pack of the Pay Equity Compliance Suite. The full suite is sold once as flexigobe_pay_equity_base for 490 EUR (one-time payment). When you install this pack, Odoo automatically adds the base module to your cart: you pay 490 EUR once, not per country.
The EntgTranspG obliges you, your ERP stays silent
Germany's pay transparency law puts three concrete duties on employers: answer each employee's request for pay information, run an internal verification procedure, and publish the Lagebericht report once you reach 500 or more staff. Odoo does not cover any of this out of the box. This module turns those duties into real models, workflows and exports inside Odoo, with the logic of each EntgTranspG section (S.10-22) implemented natively.
S.10-16 - Right to information (Auskunftsanspruch)
Handles each employee's individual right to learn the reference pay of comparable colleagues. It logs the request, computes the comparison and formally records your reply.
S.17-20 - Verification procedure (Pruefverfahren)
The statutory 5-step internal verification procedure, implemented in full so you can document the equal-pay analysis step by step and defend it later.
S.21-22 - Lagebericht report
Status reports for companies with 500 or more employees, generated at the statutory frequency (every 3 or every 5 years depending on your case).
BMFSFJ-compatible XML export
Produces the XML file in the official format for ministerial submission, with no need to hand-edit data in spreadsheets outside Odoo.
Comparable work (Vergleichstaetigkeit) by EIGE score
Identifies comparable activities (Vergleichstaetigkeit) from the EIGE evaluation score, so you avoid manual, subjective job mapping.
Statistisches Bundesamt-style tables
Pay breakdowns aligned with the German federal statistics format, ready for internal review or for your works council (Betriebsrat).

Frequently asked questions
How much does the German Pay Transparency (EntgTranspG) module for Odoo actually cost?
The German country pack is 0 EUR, but it needs the base module flexigobe_pay_equity_base, which is sold once for 490 EUR and includes the whole suite (every country module). Odoo adds it to your cart automatically, so you pay 490 EUR in total, one-time, not per country.
Does it work with Odoo Community?
Yes. It runs on both Odoo Community and Enterprise, versions 17, 18 and 19. It also does not depend on hr_contract, so you do not need the Contracts module or Payroll to use it.
How does it protect such sensitive salary data?
With a 4-tier role hierarchy, an immutable access log on every salary read, k-anonymity suppression when the comparison group is too small, and purpose limitation under GDPR Art. 12. The data never leaves your own Odoo instance.
Does it also help with EU Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970?
Yes. The module implements the current German EntgTranspG and is designed to anticipate EU Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970. It is the starting point to get ahead of the national transposition, though each Member State will define its own implementing rules.
Do I get the source code and future updates?
Yes. You receive the full source code under the OPL-1 licence, an invoice, and automatic delivery of the module for your Odoo version. It is a one-time payment with no recurring fees.
