Piece-rate payroll for seasonal farm labor, done right.
Pay bins, rows, trees and pounds picked at the right rate, reconcile every worker against the hourly wage floor automatically, and manage seasonal crews from onboarding to payday — all inside Odoo.
The problem
Harvest crews are paid by what they produce, not a salary, and the workforce can double or triple for a few weeks at a time. Spreadsheets and paper tally sheets cannot reconcile piece-rate pay against the legal wage floor, allocate labor cost to the right field, or onboard dozens of temporary workers before a picking window closes.
The solution
Seasonal Farm Labor & Piece-Rate Wages logs every worker’s output by field and task, calculates piece-rate pay automatically, tops up anyone who falls below the hourly wage floor, and rolls every payslip straight into a journal entry — so crew leaders capture output in the field and the office pays the crew correctly, on time.
Everything a harvest payroll needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Piece-rate wage engine
Pay every worker by bins, rows, trees, pounds or trays picked, with configurable rates per task, crop, field and season.
Wage-floor reconciliation & top-up
Every pay run compares each worker’s piece-rate earnings against your configured hourly wage floor and automatically tops up the shortfall.
Pay preview before you commit
See every worker’s payslip, wage-floor comparison and top-up total for the whole crew before you compute, confirm or post a pay run.
Fast field quick-entry
A mobile-friendly quick-entry form lets foremen log a worker’s piece count and hours in seconds, with large targets built for gloved hands.
Bulk seasonal crew onboarding
Bulk-create seasonal employees and assign them to crews in one wizard at season start, then archive the whole crew when the season ends.
Crew & foreman management
Organize workers into crews with a foreman, a default field and task, and a full member roster so every worker is accounted for.
Cost allocation & accounting posting
Every work log is tagged to a field so labor cost rolls up by crop, and a confirmed pay run posts straight to a draft journal entry split by field.
Productivity & downtime tracking
Review output per worker, crew and field in lists, kanban boards, and graph/pivot analysis, and log rain delays or equipment downtime so non-productive hours are still paid at the wage floor.
Seasonal labor forecasting
Estimate the crew size and labor cost you’ll need for an upcoming harvest window from your historical output rates.
How it works
Set up the season
Define the season, fields, task types and piece rates once before the crews arrive.
Onboard the crew
Bulk-create seasonal workers and assign them to crews and foremen with the onboarding wizard.
Log daily output
Foremen record each worker’s piece counts, hours and downtime with a fast quick-entry form.
Preview, confirm and pay
Review wage-floor top-ups on the pay run before confirming, then post the payslips straight to accounting.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
Yes. Each work log multiplies the quantity produced by the configured piece rate for that task, field and season, and the pay run aggregates every log per worker automatically.
