JavaFx Employee Payroll Report

Develop an MVC JavaFX GUI application to display a company's payroll report. The application consists of two windows and a java class.

Employee.java

The employee class will have four field variables:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Hourly pay rate
• Number of hours worked

It will also have the following methods:

• Non-default constructor to initialize field variables.
• Getters for field variables.
• calc Salary which calculates and returns the salary as follows:
  • (up to 40 hours): Hourly pay rate * Number of Hours worked
  • (Number of hours exceeding 40): Hourly pay rate and half * Number of hours worked
• A public static method called validate which returns true after verifying a new Employee object and making sure that the salary is between 0.00 to 50.00 and the number of hours is between 0.00 to 70.00.

public static boolean validateEmployee (Employee emp) {//...}

GUI

The first window consists of number of TextFields and a button (Add Employee) to get the following information from the user and store them in an ArrayList:

Employee's first name, last name, hourly rate, and hours worked.

NOTE: You must first call the static method validateEmployee to ensure the object is validated.

If the information is invalid, show a warning dialog letting the user know the information were out of range, otherwise add the record to the array.

This first window will have another button (Show Employee). When clicked a second window will open and. The second window will use a Text Area to view the employees and their gross pay.

Employee   Hourly Rate  Hours Worked Gross Pay
Adam Knox     $6.50      38            $247.00
Bob Brown     $5.70      50            $313.50
Ed Smith      $7.00      40            $280.00
                           Final Total $840.50

• Make sure each Text Field has an appropriate label
• Add exception handling to your program in so that it won't crash on bad user input.

Separation between GUI and back-end classes: Remember that you should try to keep the GUI (and back-end classes (other non-GUI classes) as separate and clean as possible. This means don't put any GUI code in the back-end classes, and don't put code in the GUI class(es) that really belongs in a back- end class. To that end your project should consist of separate (java, .fxml and controller classes) for each window in addition to an Employee.java.

Enable the user to use a button (Save Employees) button on the first Window to write the list of employees to a CSV file.

Enable the user to use the (Load Employees) button on the first Window to fill the ArrayList with a list of employees from a CSV file.
