for i=1 to teller 
for j=1 to num_year 
cin>> sick_days 
tottalsick_days+=sick_days 
endinnerfor 
endouterfor 

cout << "How many tellers worked at Nation’s Bank during each of the last three years?";
cin >> numTellers;
cout << "How many days was teller1 out sick during year 1?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;
cout << "How many days was teller1 out sick during year 2?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;
cout << "How many days was teller 1 out sick during year 3?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;
cout << "How many days was teller 2 out sick during year 1?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;
cout << "How many days was teller 2 out sick during year 2?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;
cout << "How many days was teller 2 out sick during year 3?";
cin >> tellerAbsence;

I'm not sure if this matches your revised code, but I think it does what you're looking for...

	system("pause");

Ignore that I'm including fstream and string... You're not going to need those. Those were from the program I had written in the file previously.

Yeah that's more or less right. The only thing is that since you're inside your main function you aren't going to return numYear or teller. One function can only return one thing. Also, you need to add some code to actually total up your sick days. Right now, sickDays isn't actually doing anything. It's just getting reassigned memory every iteration of your for loop.
A Nick (13)
Start by initializing totalSickDays to 0 when you declare it, and add a statement like this inside your nested for loop:

 
 
totalSickDays = totalSickDays + sickDays;
