Hey everyone, I'm new to C++, and keep getting stuck with this in Inheritance.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class Employee
{
	protected:
		std::string empID;
		std::string empName;
		std::string response;
		float grossPay;

	private:
		int hoursWorked;
		float hourlyRate;

	public:
		Employee()
		{
			empID = "";
			empName = "";
			hoursWorked = 0;
			hourlyRate = 0;
			grossPay = 0;
		}

	protected:
		void SetEmpID()
		{
			empID = "123451223";
		}
		void SetEmpName()
		{
			std::cout << "\nEnter employee name?  ";
			std::getline(std::cin, response);
			while (response.length() == 0)
			{
				std::cout << "\nEnter employee name?  ";
				std::getline(std::cin, response);
			}
			empName = response;
		}
		void SetHoursWorked()
		{
			std::cout << "\nEnter Amount of Hours Worked:  ";
			std::getline(std::cin, response);
			hoursWorked = stoi(response);
		}
		void SetHourlyRate()
		{
			std::cout << "\nEnter Hourly Rate:  ";
			std::getline(std::cin, response);
			hourlyRate = stof(response);
		}

	public:
		virtual void Calculate()
		{
			SetEmpID();
			SetEmpName();
			SetHoursWorked();
			SetHourlyRate();
			grossPay = hoursWorked * hourlyRate;
		}
		float GetGrossPay()
		{
			return grossPay;
		}
		virtual void Display()
		{
			std::cout << "\n\n**  Employee Info  **";
			std::cout << "\nEmployee ID:  " << empID;
			std::cout << "\nEmployee Name:  " << empName;
			std::cout << "\nHours Worked:  " << hoursWorked;
			std::cout << "\nHourly Rate:  " << hourlyRate;
			std::cout << "\n\nGross Pay:  " << GetGrossPay();
		}
};

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "Employee.cpp"

class SalariedEmployee : public Employee
{
	private:
		float annualSalary;

	public:
		SalariedEmployee()
		{
			annualSalary = 0;
		}

	protected:
		void SetAnnualSalary()
		{
			std::cout << "\nEnter Annual Salary:  ";
			std::getline(std::cin, response);
			while (response.length() == 0)
			{
				std::cout << "\nEnter Annual Salary:  ";
				std::getline(std::cin, response);
			}
			annualSalary = stof(response);
		}

	public:
		virtual void Calculate()
		{
			SetAnnualSalary();
			grossPay = annualSalary / 26;
		}
		virtual void Display()
		{
			std::cout << "\n\n** Salaried Employee Details  **";
			std::cout << "\nEmployee ID:  " << empID;
			std::cout << "\nEmployee Name:  " << empName;
			std::cout << "\nAnnual Salary:  " << annualSalary;
			std::cout << "\n\nGross Pay:  " << GetGrossPay();
		}
};

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "Employee.cpp"
#include "SalariedEmployee.cpp"

int main()
{
	Employee employee1;
	SalariedEmployee employee2;
	std::cout << "\n\n";
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;

I see no question here.

Yes my apologies, I'm getting so many errors it wont compile. My question is what is wrong with this code.
>c:\users\anton\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\inheritence\inheritence\employee.cpp(5): error C2011: 'Employee' : 'class' type redefinition

Get rid of #include "Employee.cpp" in your main file

[avidak]

O thank you Kevin, is it because it's been included in the derived class?

[kevinkjt2000]

Yes. Typically cpp files are compiled separately then linked together. The way you are doing it also works though, but c++ does not like when programmers repeat themselves.
I found a tutorial for multiple files written with visual studio in mind:

Thx very much for your time and help Kevin.
