I'm sure it won't. Why don't you show us the error messages and
tell us
a bit about what it is you are trying to do?

Ensure the name entered by the user is not empty (HINT: a string
variable is an object which means you can call methods. Search
JavaDoc for a method that will tell you if a string is empty or not
(empty string = a string with no characters ??). If the name of the
employee is empty print ?not entered? instead of the name.

Programing 1\employee payroll\sheridan\PayrollStatement.java [line:

I have been trying to get this program to work for 2 days. ive tried
every combination i could think of.
PayrollStatement is not the same thing as PayrollStatement.
Mis-spellings cause unending problems when you attempt to compile.
The lines;
PayrollStatement paystate = PayrollStatement();
paystate.printEmployeeName();
need to be in the main() method.
public static void main(String[] args) {
PayrollStatement ..............
paystate.pr.................
}
Without a main() it isn't going to run even if it does compile.
You've got another problem with the semi-colon on the end of the
function declaration for isEmpty().
