a co-applicant. If the applicant makes between
$30,000 and $50,000 a year ask them to speak to an account
manager. If the applicant makes less than
$30,000 a year, deny the application. Send immediate results to the applicant via the computer

Create a program that gets an employee's identification,
pay rate, and number of hours worked in one week. Assume that employees are hourly workers. If an employee works over 40 hours in a week, calculate for
overtime pay (1.5 * hourly wage). No employee can work over 80
hours in one week. No employee can earn less than $10 an hour or
more than $75 an hour. Send the weekly payroll totals in a file to the Payroll
department so they can calculate benefits and print the
paychecks. Make sure that this software's output is portable
to the Payroll software. |
