Any help is much appreciated.

You never initialize m_othours, m_otwage and m_pay for Employee1 and Employee2. You just keep reassigning Employee0's members.

Now that iilook like an idiot I fixed that, it gives me the output of:



This program will show the pay and overtime pay for three employees





The overtime information for Mike.

Total hours= 54.

Overtime hours= 11776.

Hourly wage= 25.

Overtime wage= 11776.

Total Pay =11776.




The overtime information for Mandy.

Total hours= 50.

Overtime hours= 11776.

Hourly wage= 20.

Overtime wage= 11776.

Total Pay =11776.




The overtime information for Wesley.

Total hours= 45.

Overtime hours= 11776.

Hourly wage= 15.

Overtime wage= 11776.

Total Pay =11776.

Press any key to continue . . .
filipe (1165)
double m_pay = '.\0';

What is this?
mstratmann (10)
I really appreciate your help sorry looking dumb I thought that was the sign for "NULL". I originally had 0 but all those values would show 0 instead 11776
filipe (1165)
In C++, NULL is just a macro for 0. The character '\0' is also 0.

I originally had 0 but all those values would show 0

What did you expect them to show?

PS: don't worry about "looking dumb", just focus on learning what you want to learn.
mstratmann (10)
It should do the calculations in function like for Employee0 it should show
Total hours= 54.00
Overtime Hours= 14.00
Hourly wage= 25.00
Overtime Wage = 37.50
Overtime wage= 525.00
Total pay= 1525.00
filipe (1165)
You'll need to call that function if you want it to be executed.
mstratmann (10)
This is how I have done it now:
1
2
3
 
double COTP::m_pay = 0;
double COTP::m_othours = 0;
double COTP::m_otwage = 0;

And I end up with this error:

1>h:\overimepaystructure\overimepaystructure\overtimepay.cpp(62) : error C2761: 'double COTP::m_pay' : member function redeclaration not allowed
