In answering this question, you should talk through all of your experience with different HRIS and compensation/payroll systems. You should be familiar with the company's system, but you do not have to have specific experience using the system first-hand. Do some research about the system and find out what it has in common with other systems that you have used in the past. No matter how you answer this question, make sure your interviewer walks away from your conversation knowing that you are comfortable and competent working in any system with a little training.

"I have used several HRIS systems in the past. Most have the same underlying concepts, which allows for compensation professionals like me to navigate between different systems. I see that you use the ADP HRIS suite. I have not used ADP in the past, but I researched the system and found similarities to PeopleSoft and WorkDay and these are both systems that I have a lot of familiarity with. I feel confident that I could learn the system."
