Need Help with creating a simple payroll form

[Elrey]

im new to vb and really have no clue so im looking for some help, i need to create a simple payroll system as a form in ms access. In this application i need to add the functionality to compute the pay for each worker at two different pay rates. In this case i will have a rate of £10 per hour for workers who are in the Sales Department and a rate of £7.50 per hour for workers in the Processing Department.



A standard working week for both categories of employee is 40 hours. Any time in addition to the standard week is paid at an overtime rate equivalent to one and a half times the normal pay rate for each category of employee.



Each employee can earn up to £4, 500 per year tax free, after that they pay 22% tax. Tax is deducted on any pay that is over the weekly equivalent of the annual tax allowance (assume a 52 week year).

does anyone know what the coding for this would be?

Take a look at this. It is a book I bought to learn Visual Studio .net. The language is visual basic .net. It should cover most of what you need except for the tax part. When I have a free moment I will try to figure it out.
