I'm getting a nullpointerexception at weeklywagess.Paycheck.calculatePayArray(Paycheck.java:229).
- The project assignment is to take the information from the file njgov56 and enter it in an array. 
- I do this by entering the information into 4 different arrays. 
- Then I have to take the information from the array and send it to the class Paycheck so I can determine the wages of the employees. 
- But for some reason it takes the information from arrays but does not keep the values. 
- Once the program starts to calculate the wages it says the arrays in the class are null.
I can't figure out why this is happening.
I hope it is something simple I am missing.
