Need help with assignment (due today)

Some of the problems I'm encountering:

First of all, am I using the right kind of loop? Would a do-while loop or a for loop be better for this problem?

Secondly, if I enter an amount less than $20, the loop just keeps running and won't exit. Why is this?

Last, if I enter an amount more than $20, the only output I get is Employee Name.

Any hints or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried tracing your code? If you do this you will probably be able to answer a lot of your questions.

I don't know what your requirements are, and I'm having trouble gleaning them from your code. Whatever they are, it's hard to imagine that cramming everything into a big gray main() method is the best approach. What have you covered in your course so far? Classes? Constructors? Getters and setters? Methods?

There seems to be an assumption in two places in your code that there are exactly four weeks in a month. Is this code to calculate payroll on some other planet where that assumption holds true?

Payoff.java:84: illegal start of type
System.exit(0);

Payoff.java:87: class, interface, or enum expected

Count your curly brackets; they don't match and please properly align them and indent your code properly because as it is it's quite a mess.

kind regards,

That's just rude, deleting three of your questions. I doubt anyone will try to help you in future.
