Thread: Changing Array variables from different classes

Hey guys/gals,

I'm having terrible trouble with my code and I would be most grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction.
First off let me explain my situation. I have a assignment due in Monday morning and I cant make any progress..
The proposal from my lecturer was to create a program with a superclass called employee, a subclass called production worker that has 2 child classes, Team lead and ordinary production worker. I have to be able to input how many workers are working for the team lead and then he will get a bonus based on the "productivity" of the employees he has under him. I was told to do this using arrays so my code is minimal but also so I can add additional TL's when my program is working. I also have to declare the "bonus" as abstract in the employee class so that I can add a supervisor to the mix later on.

I hope I have explained this so that it makes sense to somebody.. below is my code any any help would be wonderful!
