I am doing a program on payroll before any deductions are made but i seem to be encountering some problems.
Here is the program

        int timeout;
        float pay;
        } worker;

const int num_of_workers=10;

ofstream workerfile ("workerfile.txt", ios::app|ios::out);

>>but i seem to be encountering some problems.
Do you mind explaining what problems? Do are we supposed to guess?

oh sorry forgot about that
first problem is despite i put in the calculation for the payroll it never seems to work out properly and whenever i sort then use the display all function i get a bunch of random gibberish

this is the code i entered for the calculation
#
void addworker(worker tmp_array[]){
#
bool ok;
#
int hrpay = 11;
#
int time=0;
#
if (worker_num<num_of_workers) {
#
printf("\nAdd worker %d\n",worker_num+1);
#
printf("\nEnter First Name: ");
#
cin >> tmp_array[worker_num].fname;
#
printf("\nEnter Last Name: ");
#
cin >> tmp_array[worker_num].lname;
#
printf("\nEnter date: ");
#
cin >> tmp_array[worker_num].date;
#
printf("\nEnter Time In (in 24hr clock format): ");
#
scanf("%d",&tmp_array[worker_num].timein);
#
printf("\nEnter Time Out (in 24hr clock format): ");
#
scanf("%d",&tmp_array[worker_num].timeout);
#
worker_num=worker_num + 1;
#
if (tmp_array[worker_num].timein >= tmp_array[worker_num].timeout)
#
{
#
int timeout;
#
int timein;
#
int pay;
#
int time;
#
int hrspay;
#
timeout=tmp_array[worker_num].timeout;
#
timein=tmp_array[worker_num].timein;
#
//time=(tmp_array[worker_num].timeout-tmp_array[worker_num].timein);
#
//tmp_array[worker_num].pay=time*hrpay;
#
time=timeout-timein;
#
pay=time*hrspay;
#
pay=tmp_array[worker_num].pay;
#
}
#
else
#
{
#
time=(tmp_array[worker_num].timeout - tmp_array[worker_num].timein);
#
tmp_array[worker_num].pay=time*hrpay;
#
}
#
//appendtofile(tmp_array);
#
}
#
else {
#
printf("Array Full. No more workers can be added at this time.");
#
}
#
}

cin >> tmp_array[worker_num].date;
printf("\nEnter Time In (in 24hr clock format): ");
scanf("%d",&tmp_array[worker_num].timein);

Pick either C or C++
C/C++ (what you posted) is a disaster area.

There is at least one place where you've used scanf so badly that it WILL trash memory you don't own.

There there's the gratuitous global variables for no reason, and the mis-named readfromfile() function which seems to be writing to a file.
