How Can I Gain Practical Experience in Payroll and Compliance as an HR Professional?

Hello, everyone. I need help. I have been working for the past five years as an HR professional in a hospital in my hometown. However, I lack practical experience in payroll and statutory compliance as these areas are managed by our salary department. Can you please suggest how I can learn more about payroll and statutory compliance? Thank you.

Rather than joining courses, practical working experience gives you more exposure as you make mistakes and learn from them. During your free time, you can work with your accounts (salary) department to gain practical knowledge and understand the processes involved. Gain the confidence to handle it without support. Subsequently, when you move to another company, you can present your capabilities of handling general HR functions, payroll, and statutory compliance. Also, always remember that teamwork wins. As you grow in terms of hierarchy, teamwork will become inevitable.
