hi

Iam doing a payroll system for a compny where I have to implement a program to calculate workers pay. for commission paid workers, hourly paid workers and fixed monthly paid worker.

i have done the codes but something is wrong somewhere between the codes. cant tell if it is my calculations is missing a line of calculation or i have missout a code because the output it not giving me what the program should. here is my code and can tell me where and what I am missing here. been trying for days to figure what i didnt add it, whether it is the missing code or missing calculation

{   
        double total_deduction;

        total_deduction = gross_pay - deduction;

        return total_deduction;   
    }

    public static double calGrossH(double hours_worked, double pay_rate)

    {
        double extra_time, over_time = 0;

        extra_time = hours_worked - 40;
        over_time = (pay_rate * 1.5) * extra_time;
        over_time = (40 * pay_rate)+ over_time;

        return extra_time;
    }

    public static double calGrossC(double fixed_salary, double commission)
    {
        double  ans, comm_incent, totalsales = 0;

        totalsales = totalsales * 5 / 100;
        comm_incent = fixed_salary + commission;

        return totalsales;    
    }

    public static double calDeductions(double grosspay, double taxes)
    {
        double gross_pay;

        gross_pay = grosspay - taxes;

        return gross_pay;   
    }
    public static double calNetpay(double grosspay, double total_deductions)  
    {
        double netpay;

        netpay = grosspay - total_deductions;

        return netpay;
    }

the part above is the method
the part below is the code

Well you never seem to set the hours_worked to anything other than 0.

Also, keep in mind that when you write

if(hours_worked == 40 * 120)
    total_deductions = calGrossF(gross_pay, deductions);
    extra_time = calGrossH(hours_worked, pay_rate);
    totalsales = calGrossC(fixed_salary, commission);

It will be interpreted as

if(hours_worked == 40 * 120){
    total_deductions = calGrossF(gross_pay, deductions);
}
extra_time = calGrossH(hours_worked, pay_rate);
totalsales = calGrossC(fixed_salary, commission);

So extra_time will always be calculated even when hours_worked is not equal to 40*120. Which is never the case since hours_worked is set to 0 and never changes. I assume you'll want the user to set the hours before the calculations start and go from there.

do have to set the hours worked to another number other than 0 or can left it as is because i have change the hours worked to not equal to 40 *120 and still getting the same result except for the netpay is saying 1250.0 for all so i am guessing something is still wrong with the calculation but cant see it

There are a few variables that never get any sensible values (eg hours worked, pay rate). It looks like you may have missed the part of the assignment where you were supposed to get those values?
