+Salary attachment report
+========================
+
+*Salary attachments* in Odoo refer to a portion of an employee's earnings that are designated for
+a specific purpose, both voluntary and involuntary. These can include contributions to a retirement
+plan, repayment of a loan, wage garnishments, or child support.
+
+Voluntary salary attachments, such as repaying a loan, or contributing to a charity on a monthly
+basis, are considered *Assignments of Salary* in Odoo. Salary attachments that are required, such as
+a lawsuit settlement repayment, or repaying a tax lien, are considered *Attachments of Salary* in
+Odoo. Child support payments have their own category, and are simply referred to as *Child Support*
+in Odoo.
+
+To view this report, navigate to :menuselection:`Payroll app --> Reporting --> Salary Attachment
+Report`. The :guilabel:`Salary Attachment Report` shows all deductions or allocations per employee,
+organized by payslip, in a default pivot table. The default filter is the end of the current year
+(:guilabel:`Payslip End Date: (year)`). The employees populate the rows, while the various
+deductions populate the columns, organized by type of deduction, and further grouped by individual
+payslip.
+
+The default report contains **all** payslips for the current year, so the report typically contains
+a large number of columns. This could make it difficult to view all the data at once, as the report
+may be very wide and require scrolling to view all the data.
+
+To view a condensed version of salary attachments, and have all the salary attachment columns
+visible on one page, click the :icon:`fa-minus-square-o` :guilabel:`Total` icon at the top of the
+report, above the various payslips.
+
+This presents the salary attachments for the current year, and only displays three columns,
+:guilabel:`Attachment of Salary`, :guilabel:`Assignment of Salary`, and :guilabel:`Child Support.`
+
+Each entry displays the total amount paid for each specific type of salary attachment, for each
+employee.

+The report can be downloaded as an XLSX file, or :doc:`inserted into a spreadsheet
+<../../productivity/spreadsheet/insert>` using the corresponding buttons at the top.
+
+Click the :guilabel:`Measures` button to reveal the options of what data is displayed.
+:guilabel:`Assignment of salary`, :guilabel:`Attachment of salary`, and :guilabel:`Child support`
+are all selected and visible, by default, while the :guilabel:`Count` option is not.
+
+Click an option to either show or hide that particular metric. A :icon:`fa-check`
+:guilabel:`(checkmark)` icon indicates the data is visible.
+
+Compare to previous year
+========================
+
+The :guilabel:`Salary Attachment Report` can be compared to the report for the previous time period
+or the previous year.
+
+To view these comparisons, click the :icon:`fa-caret-down` :guilabel:`(down arrow)` icon in the
+search bar, then click either :guilabel:`Payslip End Date: Previous Period` or :guilabel:`Payslip
+End Date: Previous Year`, beneath the :icon:`fa-adjust` :guilabel:`Comparison` column.
+
+The report updates and displays the current time period values, and the previous time period values,
+as well as the :guilabel:`Variation` between the two, in a percentage.
