I managed to get it compile and then run, but there were other logical errors I would say in respect of what your program should do. However I am not going to give you the code, because you had too many errors, so I don't think you'll be patient enough to try to learn by comparing. I know I wouldn't be. So I'm thinking how is the best way to try to show you what have you done, and the best I can do is give you advise: to get back on the drawing board, I mean back on the basics, there were so many basic errors, like assigning value to a function with the assignment operator, using different names for variables, working with if/else statements and while loops. There are snippets and tutorials here that you can pick up valuable hints and tips. With all do respect, that is my advice to you. Sincerely PennyBoki

Okay PennyBoki well I think now that i have all the errors cleaned up but I still not getting it to satisfy the requirements of the assignment which are:

Modify the Payroll Program so that it uses a class to store and retrieve the employee's name,
the hourly rate, and the number of hours worked. Use a constructor to initialize the employee
information, and a method within that class to calculate the weekly pay. Once stop is entered
as the employee name, the application should terminate. Make sure the program maintains all
the functionality required in previous assignments and your source code is readable and well
documented.

Here is my code:

CODE

//Payroll3
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Payroll3 {

    // main begin Java application
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Employee emp = new Employee();
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        double payRate;
        double hoursWorked;
        double earnedPay;

        while (true)
        {
            System.out.println("\nEnter Employee Name :");
            emp.setName(input.next());

            if (!emp.getName().equals("Stop")) {
                System.out.print ("Enter Employee payRate: $"); //prompt
                emp.setpayRate(input.nextDouble());
                while (emp.getpayRate() <= 0) {
                    System.out.println ("Invalid amount, setpayRate must be positive");
                    System.out.print ("Please enter valid payrate: $");
                    emp.setpayRate(input.nextDouble());
                    // Loop until valid number is entered for payrate: while (setpayRate < 0.0)
                } // end while
                System.out.print ("Enter number hours worked: ");
                emp.sethoursWorked(input.nextDouble());
                while (emp.gethoursWorked() <= 0 ) {
                    System.out.println ("Invalid amount, hoursWorked must be positive");
                    System.out.print ("Please enter valid hourWorked: ");
                    emp.sethoursWorked(input.nextDouble());
                }
                System.out.printf("%s's weekly earned pay is: $%.2f\n", emp.getName(), emp.getpayRate());
            } else
                break;
        } // end while (true)

    } // end main

}//end class Payroll3

//  Class Employee
class Employee
{
    private String name;
    private double hourlyRate;
    private double hoursWorked;

    public Employee ()
    {
        //implicit call to object constructor occurs here
        name = "";
        hourlyRate = 0.0;
        hoursWorked = 0.0;
    }

    // Three argument initialization constructor
