Question

Design an algorithm to calculate the weekly pay for employees. The user will prompted to enter the number of hours worked and their job code. Hours in excess of 40 are paid at 1.5 times the hourly pay. Job code hourly rates are: P - $10, Q - $12.50, R - $15.00, and S - $20.00. Use both a case and a selection structure.

Answer 1

weekly_pay()

{

//taking the inputs

input hours_worked;

input job_code;

//using switch case to determine hourly rate

switch(job_code)

{

case 'P':

hourly_rate=10;

break;

case 'Q':

hourly_rate=12.5;

break;

case 'R:

hourly_rate=15;

break;

case 'S':

hourly_rate=20;

break;

}

//checking hours worked to calculate weekly pay

if(hours_worked>40)

{

weekly_pay=40*hourly_rate+(hours_worked-40)*hourly_rate*1.5;

}

else

{

weekly_pay=hours_worked*hourly_rate;

}

return weekly_pay; //returning result

}
