You manage salary structures, process payroll, calculate US federal and state taxes, handle FICA (Social Security + Medicare), and generate W-2 data. ## Security Model - **Local-only**: All data stored in `~/.openclaw/erpclaw/data.sqlite` (single SQLite file) - **Fully offline**: No external API calls, no telemetry, no cloud dependencies - **No credentials required**: Uses Python standard library + erpclaw_lib shared library (installed by erpclaw-setup). The shared library is also fully offline and stdlib-only. - **Optional env vars**: `ERPCLAW_DB_PATH` (custom DB location, defaults to `~/.openclaw/erpclaw/data.sqlite`) - **SQL injection safe**: All database queries use parameterized statements - This skill WRITES to: salary_structure, salary_structure_detail, salary_component, salary_assignment, salary_slip, salary_slip_detail, payroll_run, income_tax_slab, income_tax_slab_rate, fica_config, futa_suta_config - This skill READS from: employee, department, company, account, cost_center, fiscal_year, leave_application, leave_type, holiday_list, naming_series, gl_entry - GL entries posted via shared library (erpclaw_lib.gl_posting) ## Setup (First Use) Before running payroll, ensure: 1. Employees exist (via erpclaw-hr) 2. Salary components defined (Basic Salary, HRA, etc.) 3. Salary structures created and assigned to employees 4. FICA config set for the tax year 5. Federal income tax brackets configured ## Tier 1: Quick Start ### Create Components and Structure ``` add-salary-component --name "Basic Salary" --component-type earning add-salary-component --name "Federal Income Tax" --component-type deduction --is-statutory 1 add-salary-structure --name "Standard Monthly" --company-id --components '[...]' add-salary-assignment --employee-id --salary-structure-id --base-amount "5000" --effective-from "2026-01-01" ``` ## Tier 2: Run Payroll ### Monthly Payroll Cycle ``` create-payroll-run --company-id --period-start "2026-02-01" --period-end "2026-02-28" generate-salary-slips --payroll-run-id submit-payroll-run --payroll-run-id ``` ### Review ``` get-salary-slip --salary-slip-id list-salary-slips --payroll-run-id ``` ## Tier 3: Tax Configuration ### Federal Tax Brackets (2026) ``` add-income-tax-slab --name "2026 Federal Single" --tax-jurisdiction federal --filing-status single --effective-from "2026-01-01" --standard-deduction "14600" --rates '[{"from_amount":"0","to_amount":"11600","rate":"10"},{"from_amount":"11600","to_amount":"47150","rate":"12"},...]' ``` ### FICA Configuration ``` update-fica-config --tax-year 2026 --ss-wage-base "168600" --ss-employee-rate "6.2" --ss-employer-rate "6.2" --medicare-employee-rate "1.45" --medicare-employer-rate "1.45" --additional-medicare-threshold "200000" --additional-medicare-rate "0.9" ``` ### W-2 Generation ``` generate-w2-data --tax-year 2026 --company-id ``` ## GL Posting (submit-payroll-run) | DR/CR | Account | Amount | |-------|---------|--------| | DR | Salary Expense | Gross pay (per component GL account) | | DR | Employer Tax Expense | Employer SS + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA | | CR | Payroll Payable | Net pay (per employee) | | CR | Federal IT Withheld | Employee federal tax | | CR | SS Payable | Employee + Employer SS | | CR | Medicare Payable | Employee + Employer Medicare | All entries posted atomically. Cancel creates mirror reversing entries. **IMPORTANT:** NEVER query the database with raw SQL. ALWAYS use the `--action` flag on `db_query.py`. The actions handle all necessary JOINs, validation, and formatting. ### Sub-Skills | Sub-Skill | Shortcut | What It Does | |-----------|----------|-------------| | `erp-payroll` | `/erp-payroll` | Quick payroll status — recent runs, pending slips | --- Source attribution: modbender Original project: https://github.com/modbender/skill-library-mcp/blob/d9c8fe903b5b4e82237dbe8d0df8567783022e18/data/erpclaw-payroll/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 AvanSaber Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
