Beginner C++ program question

[foreverjyyy]

This is my first time with C++ and only a week in and my teacher goes way to fast!! and has already assigned us homework, please help me. Thank you!
I need to design a program to do the following:
An educational institution has employees classified as follows:
a. Administrative (A)
b. Faculty (F)
c. Maintenance (M)
d. Secretarial (S)
e. Classified (C)
f. Part-Time (P)
Each group’s pay is calculated differently. Use IF method and include error routine.

well, a design isn't code. Try extending the text above a little to explain how you might build it?
