d) Writes the employee data along with the gross pay, benefits and retirement account contributions, income tax (in dollars), and net pay to another file named payroll.txt

Explanation / Answer

Read employeesFile

   empID = employeesFile[1]

   empName = employeesFile[2]

   hrsPay = employeesFile[3]

   hrsWorked = employeesFile[4]

   benefits = employeesFile[5]

   retirementAmt = employeesFile[6]

   for emp in employeeFile:
       grossPay = emp.hrsPay * emp.hrsWorked

       if grossPay >=1000
           percentageDeduction = 10

       else if (grossPay >= 750) and (grossPay < 1000)
           percentageDeduction = 7.5

       else if (grossPay >= 500) and (grossPay < 750)
           percentageDeduction = 5

       netpay = NetPay(grossPay,benefits,retirementAmt,percentageDeduction)

   Write to file payroll.txt

       writeline(empID,empName,grossPay,benefits,retirementAmt,netpay)
End Read.

NetPay (grossPay,benefits,retirementAmt,percentageDeduction)
  
   netpay = grossPay - benefits - retirementAmnt -(grossPay*percentageDeduction)
  
   return netpay
