-Structure types
----------------
-
-In Odoo, structure types are used to identify group of people referring to the same payroll rules.
-A structure type contains specific options and a subset of structures that will be used according
-the situation.
-
-In Odoo, an employee's payslip is based on *structures* and *structure types*, which both affect how
-an employee enters timesheets. Each structure type is an individual set of rules for processing a
-timesheet entry, which consists of different structures nested within it. Structure types define how
-often an employee gets paid, the working hours, and if wages are based on a salary (fixed) or how
-many hours the employee worked (varied).
-
-For example, a structure type could be `Employee`, and that structure type could have two different
-structures in it: a `Regular Pay` structure which includes all the separate rules for processing
-regular pay, as well as a structure for an `End of Year Bonus` which includes the rules only for the
-end of year bonus. Both the `Regular Pay` structure and `End of Year Bonus` structure are structures
-within the `Employee` structure type.
-
-The different :guilabel:`Structure Types` can be seen by navigating to :menuselection:`Payroll app
---> Configuration --> Salary: Structure Types`.
-
-Two default structure types are configured in Odoo: :guilabel:`Employee` and :guilabel:`Worker`.
-
-Typically, :guilabel:`Employee` is used for salaried employees, which is why the wage type is
-:guilabel:`Monthly Fixed Wage`, and :guilabel:`Worker` is typically used for employees paid by the
-hour, so the wage type is :guilabel:`Hourly Wage`.

-
-New structure type
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To make a new structure type, click the :guilabel:`New` button, and a blank structure type form
-appears.
-
-Proceed to enter information in the fields. Most fields are pre-populated, but all the fields can be
-modified.
-
-- :guilabel:`Structure Type`: enter the name for the new structure type, such as `Employee` or
-  `Worker`.
-- :guilabel:`Country`: select the country that the new structure type applies to from the drop-down
-  menu.
-- :guilabel:`Wage Type`: select what type of wage the new structure type uses, either
-  :guilabel:`Fixed Wage` or :guilabel:`Hourly Wage`.
-
-  If the type is to be used for salaried employees, who receive the same wage every pay period,
-  select :guilabel:`Fixed Wage`.
-
-  If the type is to be used for employees, who receive wages based on how many hours they worked
-  during a pay period, select :guilabel:`Hourly Wage`.
-- :guilabel:`Default Scheduled Pay`: select the typical pay schedule for the new structure type from
-  the drop-down menu. Options are :guilabel:`Monthly`, :guilabel:`Quarterly`,
-  :guilabel:`Semi-annually`, :guilabel:`Annually`, :guilabel:`Weekly`, :guilabel:`Bi-weekly`,
-  :guilabel:`Bi-monthly`. This indicates how often this specific type of structure is paid out.
-- :guilabel:`Default Working Hours`: select the default working hours for the new structure type
-  from the drop-down menu. All available working hours for the currently selected company appear in
-  the drop-down menu. The default working hours that are pre-configured in Odoo is the
-  :guilabel:`Standard 40 hours/week` option. If the needed working hours do not appear in the list,
-  a :ref:`new set of default working hours can be created <new-default-working-hours>`.
-- :guilabel:`Regular Pay Structure`: type in the name for the regular pay structure. It will be
-  used as the default option when generating payslips.
-- :guilabel:`Default Work Entry Type`: For employees whose contracts is referred under this
-  structure type, the main work entry type used for all period of work is defined here. It will
-  commonly be set as **Attendance**,
-  :guilabel:`Overtime Hours`, :guilabel:`Generic Time Off`, :guilabel:`Compensatory Time Off`,
-  :guilabel:`Home Working`, :guilabel:`Unpaid`, :guilabel:`Sick Time Off`, :guilabel:`Paid Time
-  Off`, :guilabel:`Out Of Contract`, :guilabel:`Extra Hours`, and :guilabel:`Long Term Time Off`.
-
-  To view all the options for the :guilabel:`Default Work Entry Type`, click the :guilabel:`Search
-  More..` button at the bottom of the drop-down list.
-
-  Depending on the localization settings, this list may contain more options in addition to the
-  default options.

-
-New default working hours
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To make new default working hours, type the name for the new working hours in the :guilabel:`Default
-Working Hours` field on the new structure type form. Click :guilabel:`Create and edit`. A default
-working hours form pops up. The default working hours form has two sections, a general information
-section and a tab listing out all the individual working hours by day and time. When the form is
-completed, click :guilabel:`Save & Close`.
-
-- :guilabel:`Name`: type in the name for the new default working hours. This should be descriptive
-  and clear to understand, such as `Standard 20 Hours/Week`.
-- :guilabel:`Company`: select the company that can use these new default working hours from the
-  drop-down menu. Blank field means it's available for all companies.
-- :guilabel:`Average Hour Per Day`: the average hours per day field is auto-populated, based on the
-  working hours configured in the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab. This entry affects resource
-  planning, since the average daily hours affect what resources can be used, and in what quantity,
-  per work day.
-- :guilabel:`Timezone`: select the time zone to be used for the new default working hours from the
-  drop-down menu.
-- :guilabel:`Company Full Time`: enter the number of hours per week an employee would need to work
-  to be considered a full-time employee. Typically, this is approximately 40 hours, and this number
-  affects what types of benefits an employee can receive, based on their employment status
-  (full-time vs part-time).
-- :guilabel:`Work Time Rate`: this percentage is auto-generated based on the entry for the
-  :guilabel:`Company Full Time` and the working hours configured in the :guilabel:`Working Hours`
-  tab. This number should be between `0.00%` and `100%`, so if the percentage is above `100%`, it is
-  an indication that the working times and/or :guilabel:`Company Full Time` hours need adjustment.
-- :guilabel:`Working Hours` Tab: this tab is where each day's specific working hours are listed.
-  When a new default working hour form is created, the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab is
-  pre-populated with a default 40-hour week, with each day divided into three timed sections.
-
-  Every day has morning (8:00-12:00), lunch (12:00-13:00), and evening (13:00-17:00) hours
-  configured, using a 24 hour time format.
-
-  To adjust any of these hours, click on the specific field to adjust, and make the adjustment using
-  the drop-down menus, or in the specific case of the times, type in the desired time.
-
-  Keep in mind, working hours are company-specific, and cannot be shared between companies. Each
-  company needs to have their own working hours set.
-
-  .. note::
-     If the working hours are not consistent each week, and the hours are on a bi-weekly schedule
-     instead, click the :guilabel:`Switch to 2 week calendar` button at the top of the new default
-     working hours form. This changes the :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab to display two weeks of
-     working times that can be adjusted.
-
-Structures
-----------
-
-*Salary structures* are the different situations an employee could be paid within a specific
-*structure*, and are specifically defined by various rules.
-
-The amount of structures a company needs for each structure type depends on how many different ways
-employees are paid, and how their pay is calculated. For example, a common structure that could be
-useful to add may be a `Bonus`.
-
-To view all the various structures for each structure type, go to :menuselection:`Payroll app -->
-Configuration --> Salary --> Structures`.
-
-Each :ref:`structure type <payroll/structure-types>` lists the various structures associated with
-it. Each structure contains a set of rules that define it.

-Rules
------
-
-Each structure has a set of salary rules used to compute the various amounts considered in the pay.
-These rules are configured by the localization and affect the computation of the salaries. Modification
-or creation of rules should only be done when necessary.
-
-To view all the rules, go to :menuselection:`Payroll app --> Configuration --> Salary --> Rules`.

+Salaries
+========
+
+In Odoo, salaries are calculated and determined by five factors: salary :ref:`structure types
+<payroll/structure-types>`, salary :ref:`structures <payroll/structures>`, :ref:`rules
+<payroll/rules>`, :ref:`rule parameters <payroll/rule-parameters>`, and :ref:`other input types
+<payroll/other-input>`. Together, these determine how each employee's pay is calculated.
+
+Each *structure type* contains one or more *structures* within it. Each *structure* contains a set
+of *rules*, and every *rule* uses *parameters* to define how specific amounts are calculated.
+Additional inputs, (such as bonuses or deductions) can also be included to adjust the final salary.
+
+When payslips are calculated, Odoo calculates the employee's worked time from their :doc:`work
+entries <work_entries>`, then applies the relevant structure, rules, and parameters from the
+employee's assigned structure type to determine their total pay.
+
+.. _payroll/structure-types:
+
+Structure types
+===============
+
+In Odoo, a *structure type* groups related salary structures. When a contract specifies a structure
+type, **only** the structures within that type are used to calculate the employee's pay. Each
+structure type houses individual structures within them, each containing a set of rules for
+processing a timesheet entry.
+
+Structure types define key aspects of payroll configuration, including how often employees are paid,
+their working hours, the default salary structure, and whether wages are fixed (salary-based) or
+variable (hourly-based).
+
+.. example::
+   A structure type called `Employee` contains two different structures within it: a `Regular Pay`
+   structure which includes all the separate rules for processing regular pay, and an `End of Year
+   Bonus` structure, which includes the rules **only** for the end of year bonus. Both belong to the
+   same `Employee` structure type.
+
+View existing *structure types* by navigating to :menuselection:`Payroll app --> Configuration -->
+Structure Types`.
+
+Two default structure types are preconfigured in Odoo: :guilabel:`Employee` and :guilabel:`Worker`.
+
+Typically, :guilabel:`Employee` is used for salaried employees, which is why the :guilabel:`Default
+Wage Type` is a :guilabel:`Fixed Wage`, and :guilabel:`Worker` is typically used for employees paid
+by the hour, so the wage type is :guilabel:`Hourly Wage`.
+
+.. note::
+   If using a country-specific :doc:`payroll localizations <payroll_localizations>`, it is
+   recommended to use the structure in the corresponding country localization document.

+New structure type
+------------------
+
+If the default structure types do not meet the company's needs, go to :menuselection:`Payroll app
+--> Configuration --> Structure Types` and click :guilabel:`New` to create a custom structure type.
+
+.. warning::
+   When creating a new salary structure type, ensure all local and national laws are accounted for.
+   Confirm with the accounting department when configuring payroll structures, to ensure all
+   requirements are met.
+
+Proceed to enter the following information in the fields:
+
+- :guilabel:`Structure Type`: Enter the name for the new structure type, such as `Employee` or
+  `Worker`.
+- :guilabel:`Country`: Select the country that the new structure type applies to from the drop-down
+  menu.
+- :guilabel:`Wage Type`: Select the wage type for the structure:
+
+  - :guilabel:`Fixed Wage`: For salaried employees who receive the same wage every pay period.
+  - :guilabel:`Hourly Wage`: For employees paid based on hours worked during a pay period.
+
+- :guilabel:`Default Scheduled Pay`: Select the typical pay schedule for the new structure type from
+  the drop-down menu. This indicates how often this specific type of structure is paid out.
+- :guilabel:`Default Working Hours`: Select the default working hours for the new structure type
+  from the drop-down menu. All available working hours for the currently selected company appear in
+  the drop-down menu. The default working hours are the :guilabel:`Standard 40 hours/week` option.

+- :guilabel:`Name`: Type in the name for the new default working hours. This should be descriptive
+  and clear to understand, such as `Standard 20 Hours/Week`.
+- :guilabel:`Flexible Hours`: Tick the checkbox to let employees adjust their start and end times
+  while maintaining the same total daily hours.
+- :guilabel:`Company Full Time`: Enter the number of hours per week an employee needs to work to be
+  considered a full-time employee. Typically, this is approximately 40 hours, and this number
+  affects what types of benefits an employee can receive, based on their employment status
+  (full-time vs part-time).
+- :guilabel:`Average Hour Per Day`: Auto-populated based on the working hours in the
+  :guilabel:`Working Hours` tab. This entry affects resource planning by determining how many
+  resources can be used per workday.
+- :guilabel:`Work Time Rate`: This percentage is auto-generated based on the entry for the
+  :guilabel:`Company Full Time` and the working hours configured in the :guilabel:`Working Hours`
+  tab. This number should be between `0.00%` and `100%`, so if the percentage is above `100%`, it is
+  an indication that the working times and/or :guilabel:`Company Full Time` hours need adjustment.
+- :guilabel:`Company`: Select the company that can use these new default working hours from the
+  drop-down menu. Leave this field blank if the hours are available for all companies.
+- :guilabel:`Timezone`: Select the time zone to be used for the new default working hours from the
