The code compiles for me (after I fix a comment on line 50)
Do you have another Date class defined on your PC?

EmployeeTest.java:30: incompactible types

What compiler are you using? I've never seen this error before. It's best to copy and paste error messages and not type them in.

import java.util.*;

This needs to go in Employee class as well.

This needs to go in Employee class as well.

Not if there is only one source file.

Just give proper comment at line 50 after semicolon.(like // for comment)
The code will compile successfully and also run perfectly.
It has worked in my computer.
So just try it.

Your code works for me.
There is no problem in the code & it is written in the book then it cannot be wrong.
It only gives problem at line 50 where you written:
