I'm sure it's an easy fix but I'm puzzeled I've tried numberous of solutions and I'm stuck.

You have already imported Scanner at the very beggining comment out/remove line 83

I think another error pops up when I remove this, I will try it again though

Okay so it worked, and I fixed a few other errors although how would I know if the constructor is working properly?

Well, what you are doing is setting a couple of veriables to some initial values during creationg of objects of the type of your class. I assume you want to create an object of class EmployeeInfo and then set what the user enters to his existing variables. Is that right?

If so - in the main method you basically have to fix it completely
First create new object of type EmployeeInfo and name is for example employeeSlavi

Then if you want to set the wage of that employee you call the newly created object employeeSlavi and access its methods for setting its variables.

For example employeeSlavi.setWage(int number) , by doing so you can set the wage of the employee. In your case if you enter it manually you could get the value of variable number using the scanner object.

EDIT: - To answer your question - How would you know if the constructor has set your variables. Create an object of that type such as the employeeSlavi one. Then use System.out.println(employeeSlavi.getWage()); If this returns the value that you have initialized newly created objects to be, then it works
