This seems to be my issue right now. (I have changed things around and added new things but seems I am just making it worse)

Code:

 Employee employee = new employee ( empName, hoursWorked, payRate);

It is a symbol error. I am going to research a little more to see if I can find the issue. Here is the rest of the code.
