3. commission

Lets say they pick hourly, they are prompted
Enter Last Name:
Enter First Name:
Enter Middle Initial:
Enter Gender:
Enter Employee Number:
Full Time (y/n):
Enter Wage:
(there's a separate menu for adding hours)

All this information gets sent to a method in the EmployeeManager class called addEmployee.

Within this addEmployee class am I supposed to call the toString method of HourlyEmployee or what? Unfortunately, the teacher didn't provide a UML on the EmployeeManager class and kinda just left it up to us to come up with something that works.

well, first off, what does addEmployee return? that's a fairly important part.
and it shouldn't call toString at all. most likely you would create a new instance of the HourlyEmployee, and pass in all the values and things you need to the constructor, to create that.

also, are you supposed to be printing the info out or...? (lol this might be easier in chat)
