//Second student
g2.drawString("Salaried Employee"+ employee2.getName()+employee2.calcTotalPay(), center,100);


}
private Employee employee1;
private Employee employee2;
}
Thanks for any help!!

Your class name is employee, it should be Employee. Also this will mean the name of the file should change to Employee.java. Case is very important and it is standard practice to capitalize class names.
