We are going to use ERPNext in our company. We like it's usability features, code quality and we see this web-application very promising.
=== Extension overview ===
For beginning we will implement new functionality for salary slip calculation, because our employee's salary depends on time which they spent on tasks. For implementation of specified features pull request will be performed to erpnext project repository.

Thank you :)

Great - this will really help us. We can also publicly acknowledge your contributions :)
This should be done using a custom script as rules may wary per organization
It should be possible to store data about employee's working hours. Also system should provide tools for import these data.
Are they fixed or flexible? If they are fixed, then they could be added in the "Salary Structure", if not they can be updated from "Time Log" records
It should be possible to store data about employee's hourly rates.
Salary Structure may be a good place to store this.
Manager helper: Before (or after) salary slip generation system should show notifications in these cases:
In the previous month employee has working hours, but doesn't have it in the current month (Did he forget to fill report?)
In the previous month employee has twice more hours than in the current month (Did he forget to fill report?)
Again in the Salary structure, we can maintain a percentage of deviation allowed. If the deviation is more then, there should be some validation.
After salary slip creation it should be possible to do following things:
Add rating of employee's work.
That can be done in the Appraisal
Add brief description of employee's work.
Salary Structure / Appraisal
Add bonuses to employee's salary.
=== Milestone 1. Implementation Details and Questions ===
Milestone 1. Brief of Suggested development plan:
Add new *DocType*, suggestion is to call it "Working Hours". It will store all entries with data for salary calculation:
Date
Time spent (Represented in hours)
Short description of work
Project name (Optional)
Feature number and name (Optional)
This is similar to Time Log - can you merge the two? Feature number can be "Task" or "Item" or "Serial Number"
Add corresponding items to the GUI:
Working hours list (CRUD operations for "Working Hours" DocType)
Implement tool for import data to this DocType. Finally Import should be available in 2 modes:
Import from CSV documents (Using native ERPNext module, current milestone)
Import from Redmine connector (next milestone)
Add new *DocType*, suggestion is to call it "Hourly Rates". It will store all entries with hourly rates of employees.
Rate
FromDate
ToDate
Maybe this could be in Salary Structure itself, if the rates change, then a new Salary Structure can be created.
Add corresponding items to the GUI:
Hourly rates list (CRUD operations for "Hourly Rates" DocType)
Update salary slip calculation algorithm.
At the current moment we are reviewing erpnext structure and trying to design detailed and most proper plan of implementation process.
I would like to ask members of erpnext team and experienced community members to review suggested brief and verify if it fits erpnext principles?
We will appreciate any kind of suggestions or notices.
You can try fitting in the existing structure first. If there are reasons it cannot be fitted, then we can create new DocTypes -- usually creating a DocType should be the last resort since it adds a new layer of abstraction / complexity in the design.
Thank you

Hi! This is great pice of software, and im really interested in implementing this in to my company’s workflow. But i have the same problem as the Pavel did - my salaries are not fixed there are generated from the Employe specific hourly rate and specific work coefficients ( After hours work, work on holidays etc.) So im interested how to implement this to the salary calculation? My programing skills are fragile at best , but im willing to learn if there is any “guide” how to add scripts that calculate something like this - or just example how Pavel did this his way.
