Sample output :

Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):f
Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):a
Enter the total number of working hour : 198
Normal pay 1683.00
OT pay 0.00
Total pay 1683.00

output 2:
Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):B
Sample output :

Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):f
Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):a
Enter the total number of working hour : 198
Normal pay   1683.00
OT pay          0.00
Total pay    1683.00

output 2:
Enter employee's grade(A,B,C or D):B
Enter the total number of working hour : 205
Normal pay   1500.00
OT pay         56.25
Total pay  1556.25

Condition:
any employee work more than 200 hours is entitled to an overtime pay of 1.5 times than normal pay. Declare 200hours and 1.5times as constants.

GRADE (A : 8.5 B:7.5 C:6.5 D:5.0)

accept both uppercase and lowercase of the grade

	system("Pause");
	return 0;
}


There is an error with hour>200. it seems that it does not get what the example 2 from the output given. I try many ways to solve it. im a beginner. Much appreciate for the guidance and advice. Thank you.

the problem i think is come with this
if(hour>200)
{
overtimepay= ((normal-(200*b)) * overtimefactor);
}

1. Seems like your formula to calculate overtime is wrong. Since normal is initially set to 0 and you are subtracting (200*b) from normal, the number would always be negative.
The correct equation should be

overtimepay = (hour - 200)*(1.5 * normal_pay_per_hour);

2. Also, you are calculating overtime pay only for B. What if the employees of other grades work overtime.


According to me

if(grade == "A" || grade == "a")
{
     if(hour > 200)
     {
            overtimepay = (hour - 200)*(1.5 * a);
            normal = 200*a;
     }
     else
     {
            normal = hour*a;
            overtime = 0;
     }

     totalpay = normal + overtime;


}



Similarly, repeat for other grades with corresponding grade pay
