(a) Write the following for the Employee class:

1. A constructor that requires the employee name, the number of hours worked and the hourly wages rate. The number of hours must be between 5 and 40, if they are outside these hours they are set to 0. The hourly wages should be between €9.50 and €19.00, if they are outside these values the hourly wages should be set to 0.
2. A method getHoursWorked that returns the amount of hours worked
3. A method getWagesRate that returns the hourly pay rate
4. A method calculateSalary that calculates, sets and returns the weekly pay. The weekly pay is the rate by the number of hours less 10% for PRSI.
5. A method getName that returns the name

public class Employee
{
private String name;
private int employeeNumber;
private double wagesPerHour;
private double numHoursPerWeek;
private double weeklyPay;
public int getHoursWorked;

public Employee()
{
name = "kevin";
}

public void setEmployeeName(String name)
{
this.name = name;

}
public void setHoursWorked(Double numHoursPerWeek)
{
numHoursPerWeek = ((numHoursPerWeek>5&&numHoursPerWeek<40)?numHoursPerWeek:0);

}


//====================================================

public String getEmployeeName(){
return name;
}
public double getHoursWorked(){
return numHoursPerWeek;
}


}

So what's your question?

Something like this OP:

//instance variables

private String employeeName;
private int hoursWorked;
private float wagesRate;

private float weeklyPay;

public Employee(String name, int hours, float rate)
{

this.employeeName = name;

if(hours >= 5 && hours <= 40)
{
this.hoursWorked = hours;
}
else
{
this.hoursWorked = 0;
}

if(rate >= 9.50f && rate <= 19.00f)
{
this.wagesRate = rate;
}
else
{
this.wagesRate = 0.0f;
}

}

//instance methods

public int getHoursWorked()
{
return this.hoursWorked;
}

public float getWagesRate()
{
return this.wagesRate;
}

public float calculateSalary()
{

this.weeklyPay = this.wagesRate * (float)this.hoursWorked;

return this.weeklyPay - (this.weeklyPay * 0.1f);

}

public String getName()
{
return this.employeeName;
}

Kid.

OP seriously, if you need help doing this then you should scrap development for yourself. We can help you do it but there's no point in doing it all for you.
Anyway, if you read the basics of constructors and methods this will be enough to do this simple task.

Yeah you need to do the calculation in the constructor, or call another method from the constructor that does it..
remember doing this exact exercise myself and being confused by it if you're not familiar with java and constructors it can be a bit confusing at first

This is true, but if you don't make some kind of effort to work it out before posting wholesale on a forum somewhere you'll never moved beyond that.
