Here's my code:
import UIKit
import Foundation
protocol Payable {
func pay() -> (basePay: Double, benefits: Double, deductions: Double, vacation: Int)
}
enum EmployeeType {
case Manager
case NotManager
}
class Employee {
let name: String
let address: String
let startDate: NSDate
let type: EmployeeType
var department: String?
var reportsTo: String?
init(fullName: String, employeeAddress: String, employeeStartDate: NSDate, employeeType: EmployeeType) {
self.name = fullName
self.address = employeeAddress
self.startDate = employeeStartDate
self.type = employeeType
}
}
func payEmployee(employee: Payable) {
let paycheck = employee.pay()
}
class HourlyEmployee: Employee,Payable {
var hourlyWage: Double = 15.00
var hoursWorked: Double = 0
let availableVacation = 0
func pay() -> (basePay: Double, benefits: Double, deductions: Double, vacation: Int) {
return (hourlyWage * hoursWorked, 0, 0, availableVacation)
}
}
let hourlyEmployee = HourlyEmployee(fullName: "John", employeeAddress: "none", employeeStartDate: NSDate(), employeeType: .NotManager)
payEmployee(HourlyEmployee)

8,386 PointsHi John,
There is a typo in your last line of code it should read:
payEmployee(hourlyEmployee)
The difference being that in your original code you wrote "HourlyEmployee". Instead, you want to pass the hourlyEmployee constant (with a lowercase h) to the payEmployee func.
Hope that helps.
