I need help with my homework!

[tikney5]

I need to modify my current program so that is uses a class to store and retrieve the employees name, hourly rate, and number of hourse worked. Use a constructor to initialize the employee information, and a method within that class to calculate the weekly pay. Once stop is entered as the employee name the application should terminiate. Below is my previous code and some of what I think I need for this assignment. Any help would be great. Thanks.

import java.util.Scanner; //program uses class Scanner
 
public class EmployeePayroll2
{
   //main method begins execution of Java Application
   public static void main(String args[])
    {
    //create scanner to obtain input from command window
    Scanner input= new Scanner ( System.in);
 
 
    String employeeName=""; //input employee name
    double hourlyRate; //employees hourly rate
    double hoursWorked; //hours worked for the week
    double sum; //employees weekly pay
 
 
 
 
    System.out.print("Enter Name of Employee:");//prompt
    employeeName=input.next();//read name from user
 
 
    while (!employeeName.equals("stop")) //ends program after entering stop
    { 
 
    System.out.print("Enter hourly rate:");//prompt
    hourlyRate = input.nextDouble(); //read rate from user
 
 
    while (hourlyRate<0.0) //starts while loop to be sure number entered is positive
    {
    System.out.print("Hourly rate must be a positive number. Please enter a positive hourly rate:");//prompt
    hourlyRate=input.nextDouble();//read first number 
    input.nextLine();//prompt user for input
    }//end while
 
    System.out.print("Enter hours worked:");//prompt
    hoursWorked = input.nextDouble(); //read hours worked from user
 
 
    while (hoursWorked<0.0) //Is number entered positive
    {
 
    System.out.print("Hours worked must be a positive number. Please enter a positive number of hours:");//prompt
    hoursWorked=input.nextDouble();//read second number
    input.nextLine();//prompt
 
 
    }
    sum= hourlyRate * hoursWorked; //multiply numbers
 
    System.out.printf("The employee %s was paid $ %.2f this week", employeeName, sum);
    //display name and sum
 
    System.out.print("Enter Name of Employee-Enter stop to end:");//prompt
    employeeName=input.nextLine();//read name form user
 
    }//end while loop
 
 
 
      }//end method main
 
 }//end class EmployeePayroll2
 
 
New stuff I know it is horrible!
 
public class Employee 
{
 
private String employeeName; //input employee name
private double hourlyRate;//employees hourly rate
private int hoursWorked; //employee hours worked
 
 
public Employee(String employeeName, double hourlyRate, int hoursWorked){
// constructor for an employee object 
employeeName = employeeName;
hourlyRate = hourlyRate;
hoursWorked = hoursWorked;
}
 
public Employee(String employeeName, double hourlyRate){
// overload of the constructor to set a default 40 hour work week
 
}
 
// get methods
 
public String getemployeeName(){
return employeeName;
}
 
public int gethoursWorked(){
return hoursWorked;
}
 
public double gethourlyRate(){
return hourlyRate;
}
 
// getter method to calculate and return the total
 
public double getTotal(){
return (hoursWorked * hourlyRate);
}
}
