Thread: Not Reaching If Statement

Boolean ErrorHour value is true because I checked using the JOptionPane message box.

Then I run this method, but when it runs to the if statement ErrorHour equals true, is doesn't work, the message box does not open, the String value of error does not change, ErrorRate and Error ID does the same thing:

public String Error(){
        String error = "";
 
        if(name.getText().equals("") || name.getText().equals(null)){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 1");
            error = error + "Error: Invalid Name(Blank)";
            name.setText("Invalid");
        }
 
        if(last.getText().equals("") || last.getText().equals(null)){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 2");
            error = error + "\nError: Invalid Last Name(Blank)";
            last.setText("Invalid");
        }
 
        if(hHour.getText().equals("") || hHour.getText().equals(null)){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 3");
            error = error + "\nError: Invalid Work Hours(Blank)";
            hHour.setText("Invalid");
        }
 
        if(hRate.getText().equals("") || hRate.getText().equals(null)){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 4");
            error = error + "\nError: Invalid Hourly Rate(Blank)";
            hRate.setText("Invalid");
        }
 
        if(ID.getText().equals("") || ID.getText().equals(null)){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 5");
            error = error + "\nError: Invalid Employee ID(Blank)";
            ID.setText("Invalid");
        }
 
        if(name.getText().equals("Invalid") || name.getText().equals("Exists")){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 6");
            error = error + "\nError: Previous Invalid/Existing Error or" +
                    "\nInvalid/Existing Input Not Accepted(Name)";
        }
 
        if(last.getText().equals("Invalid") || last.getText().equals("Exists")){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 7");
            error = error + "\nError: Previous Invalid/Existing Error or" +
                    "\nInvalid/Existing Input Not Accepted(Last)";
        }
 
        if(hHour.getText().equals("Invalid") && ErrorHour == false){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 8");
            error = error + "\nError: Previous Invalid Error or" +
                    "\nInvalid Input Not Accepted(Hours Worked)";
        }
 
        if(hRate.getText().equals("Invalid") && ErrorRate == false){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 9");
            error = error + "\nError: Previous Invalid Error or" +
                    "\nInvalid Input Not Accepted(Hourly Rate)";
        }
 
        if(ID.getText().equals("Full") || ID.getText().equals("Exists") || ID.getText().equals("Invalid")){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, "Checked 10");

                    "\nInvalid/Existing/Full Input Not Accepted(ID)";
        }

            error = error + "\nError: Invalid Working Hours(1 - 60)";
            hHour.setText("Invalid");
        }
