Thread: HELP NEEDED

Hi there, iam a IT student but I cant get my head around java programming. There is this one question that i need help on, Please help me were to go.

A supervisor is getting in a muddle with his staffs wages, he has 4 members of staff, but at 2 different pay scales. There is one team leader (Bob) who is on £8 per hour and £12 for any hours that he has done over 36 hours. The rest are general staff (Jane, Tom and Claire) who get paid £5.75 per hour, and £9.25 for any hours that they have worked over 36 hours. The team leader will also get a £1 per hour bonus for all hours worked if (and only if) he works over 50 hours. General staff will receive a set £20 bonus if (and only if) they work over 50 hours. All staff are taxed at 23%. The supervisor wants to enter each workers total hours for the week just once each, the output must show by name how much they have earned as basic, how much earned as overtime, total bonus, total gross wages and total net wages.

Thank you
