}


Thanks!

Show your constructor definition. And do you link file where that definition is located?

Idk if this matters but shouldnt he remove #include <iostream> from his main function since it is already used in the Employee.hpp?

Well, apparently you need to define declared Employee(/*...*/) constructor

PS: I am learning c++ for I week.
