Welcome to the first lesson of Python from 0 to Hero! This series is tailored specifically for those working in Human Resources or Payroll Processing who want to harness the power of Python to automate tasks, manage data, and streamline processes.
In this lesson, we’re going to start with the basics: setting up Python, understanding Python’s syntax, and writing our first script that’s relevant to HR or payroll tasks.
First things first, we need to set up Python on your computer. Don’t worry, the process is simple!
Head over to the official Python website and download the latest version for your operating system.
During installation, check the box that says “Add Python to PATH”. This ensures you can run Python from your terminal or command prompt.
After installation, open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, or Terminal on Mac/Linux) and type:
python --version
This will confirm that Python was installed correctly. You should see something like Python 3.x.x.
You’ll need a text editor or an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to write and run your Python scripts. Here are two great options:
For this tutorial, we’ll assume you’re using VS Code, but you can choose whichever one you prefer.
Python’s syntax is simple and readable, which makes it an excellent choice for tasks like automating payroll calculations or handling employee data. Let’s look at the basics.
In Python, variables are containers for data. Unlike languages like C# or Java, you don’t need to declare the variable type (like int or string)—Python figures it out for you.
Example: Suppose you’re tracking the number of employees in a company.
# Storing the number of employees number_of_employees = 150
To display information, we use the print() function. For example, let’s print the number of employees:
print(f"The company has {number_of_employees} employees.")
Output:
The company has 150 employees.
Python can easily perform calculations, which is useful in payroll processing. Let’s calculate the monthly salary for an employee based on their annual salary.
# Annual salary annual_salary = 60000 # Calculate monthly salary monthly_salary = annual_salary / 12 print(f"The monthly salary is ${monthly_salary:.2f}")
Output:
The monthly salary is $5000.00
Comments in Python start with a #. Use them to explain what your code does, making it easier for others (or yourself) to understand later.
# This is a comment explaining the purpose of the code
Now, let's apply what we’ve learned by writing a Python script to calculate the gross salary of an employee. The script will ask for the employee’s hourly rate and hours worked in a month, then calculate the gross salary.
# Ask for the employee's hourly wage hourly_wage = float(input("Enter the employee's hourly wage: ")) # Ask for the total hours worked in the month hours_worked = float(input("Enter the total hours worked in the month: ")) # Calculate the gross salary gross_salary = hourly_wage * hours_worked # Display the result print(f"The employee's gross salary for the month is: ${gross_salary:.2f}")
To run the script:
python salary_calculator.py
Example run:
Enter the employee's hourly wage: 25 Enter the total hours worked in the month: 160 The employee's gross salary for the month is: $4000.00
This is a simple yet practical example of how Python can be used in everyday HR and payroll operations.
