Class not recognized in main program

SchoonerCaptain (2)
Hello all! I'm having an aneurysm right now, and I'm hoping y'all can help. I'm working through internet tuts and Sam's Teach Yourself right now to help me learn C++. I'm trying to do an exercise for Day 6: Basic Classes in the Sam's book, and I keep getting compile errors saying that my class objects do not have an identifier, and my accessor methods are lacking a class, and I can't figure out what's wrong. I have 3 files, Employee.h, Employee.cpp, and MainProgram.cpp, all in the same directory. I have included the full code for each below.

You need to #include "Employee.h" in your MainProgram.cpp file.

FYI, use [code][/code] tags next time:

Bah... ty, I feel like a tool. Guess I just needed another set of eyes. Thanks again.

Edit: Also, I'm new here, so sorry about the tags. I will totally use the tags next time.

And you should put some include guards in the header or you might run into problems in the future.
