Need help writing an algorithm
I'm a beginner to computer programming. Although it may seem like I'm asking the answers for my hw, alll I really need is some help and guidance to help me get me started. I just received my 1st lab and I have no idea how to start my algorithm. This is the said lab :
Once again, I'm not here for the answers but for some help to clear my mind
"Objectives
• To learn to code, compile and run a sequential program
• To learn how to obtain a program listing and output printout
Planning Due:________________________
Program Listing and output Due:________________________
Assignment
Plan and code a program to do the following. The Natural Oak and Pine Furniture Company has hired you to develop a payroll program to print out a pay report for one employee. (Later, the program may be expanded for all company employees.)
Input
Three employee initials; the number of hours worked; the hourly rate of pay for the employee. Calculate and output the employee's gross pay, deductions, and net pay. Deductions include the following:
Federal Withholding Rate18% of gross wages
State Withholding Rate4.5% of gross wages
Hospitalization$25.65
Union dues2% of gross wages
Use CONSTANT definitions for the deductions. Output ·employee initials; gross wages; amount of federal withholding; amount of state withholding; amount of hospitalization; amount for union dues; total deductions; net wages. Your output should be formatted as a report and should look like the following sample:
EmployeeABC
Hours Worked40.00
Hourly Rate8.75
Total Wages350.00
Deductions
Federal Withholding:63.00
State Withholding15.75
Hospitalization 25.65
Union Dues7.00
Total Deductions111.40
Net Pay238.60

Program listing and program output.
Be sure your output file contains user prompts and what was entered by the user .in addition to the results of your program processing. Run with above listed data. The instructor will give you additional data to test.
Program documentation and the first line of your output file should include:
