What someone does, as a record - not as a job title
Roles that belong to a department, sit on the employee with tracking, and become the field every HR report was missing.
HR Employee Role (technical name viin_hr_role) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for hr, department manager, payroll and compensation, management.
At a Glance
The facts of HR Employee Role, version 0.1, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Three steps, and then it is just a field.
Define the functions
A role per function, given to a department when it only makes sense there, or left open when it exists everywhere.
One role, and who holds it
The department it belongs to, and the employees currently at that function.
On the employee
One field, tracked. Changing it is a documented event, not an edit nobody sees.
And on the department
The department counts its roles and opens them, which is how the catalogue stays owned by somebody.
What You Get
Roles as records, optionally dedicated to one department
A Role field on the employee, tracked when it changes
A guard: the role's department and the employee's department must agree
Departments count and list their own roles
Restrict-on-delete: a role held by somebody cannot be removed by accident
Roles are company-aware, so a group keeps one catalogue per company

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
Job positions stay Odoo's recruitment object; the role describes the function the person performs.
It supplies the dimension a salary band or a rank is defined on.
Someone splitting two functions is modelled by the role that pays, not by two records.
The change is tracked in the chatter; routing it for approval is the approval app's job.
