Question 12: Employee Payroll
Employee Payroll Management System
Imagine you are developing a Payroll Management System for a small company to help HR track employee salaries efficiently. The company needs a structured way to store employee details, calculate salaries, and generate payroll summaries.
Your task is to design a Python application that allows HR to:
- Store employee details such as name, ID, position, salary..
- Retrieve and update employee records dynamically.
- Handle invalid inputs using try-except for robust error handling.
- Convert and manipulate data types where necessary.
The HR department needs a menu-driven program that allows them to:
1. Initialize Employee Records
- Use a list of dictionaries where each dictionary stores employee details (
ID,name,position,salary). - Ensure each employee has a unique ID (integer) and a valid salary.
2. Pexpected interaction example
Expected Interaction Example
Welcome to the Payroll Management System
- Add Employee
- Update Employee Salary
- Remove Employee
- Show All Employees
- Exit
Enter your choice: 1
Enter Employee ID: 101
Enter Name: Alice Johnson
Enter Position: Software Engineer
Enter Salary: 5000
Employee added successfully!
(Next, the user can update, delete, or calculate salaries.)
Payroll Summary
Total Employees: 10
Total Payroll Expense: $50,000
Highest Salary: John Doe ($7,500)
Lowest Salary: Jane Smith ($3,200)
Returning to Main Menu…
The program should allow the user to:
-
Add a new employee with their details.
-
Update an employee’s salary.
-
Delete an employee from the system using their ID.
-
Retrieve an employee’s details by searching with their ID.
-
Display all employees sorted by salary in descending order.
-
.
3. Implement Robust Error Handling
- Use try-except to handle invalid inputs (e.g., non-numeric salary entries).
- Ensure employee IDs are unique.
4. Use Various Python Features
- Dictionaries to store individual employee details.
- Loops to navigate menus and process multiple employees.).
