Help with Nested Structures

[PeakyMungo]

I was wondering how is the proper way to do the calculations using a nested structure. I was asked to write a program that contained a nested structure and calculate a weekly payroll. One structure held the departments and calculations(manager, sales associate) and another structure contained ID, Hours and Rate. I then had to ask for each individual employee's ID, hours and rate in which I understood what to do. But once I got to the calculations for the gross pay, federal tax and other calculations is where I got lost. What direction do I need to go in order to calculate the 9 employees with little code?

struct Empinfo //structure for employee id, rate & hours
{
Department d1 ;
int ID;
double rate;
double hours;
};

int main()

{

//Number of managers, salespersons and bookkeepers

Empinfo m1, m2, s1, s2, s3, s4, b1, b2, b3;

calculations for the gross pay, federal tax and other calculations is where I got lost

Do you know how to calculate these for 1 employee?

[PeakyMungo]

To calculate for one it would look something like this-

if (hours > 40)

{
overtime = hours-40;
hours = 40;
}

gpay = (hours * rate) + (overtime * rate * 1.5);

oasditax = gpay * oasditax;

hitax = gpay * hitax;

if (gpay <= 101)
{
fedtax = 0.058;
}
else if ( gpay >= 101.01 && gpay <= 201)
{
fedtax = 0.153;
}
else if (gpay >= 201.01 && gpay <= 351)
{
fedtax = 0.184;
}
else if (gpay >= 351.01 && gpay <= 502)
{
fedtax = 0.239;
}
else
{
fedtax = 0.288;
}

fedtax = fedtax * gpay;

npay = gpay - oasditax - hitax - fedtax;

[shadowCODE]

add the 9 employees to an array.
create a function to do the calculations for one.
void calculate(struct EmpInfo employee)

The go through the array calling the function for every employee.

Use code tags..
