I am currently creating a payroll software and the RemoveEmployee class does not function due to an error. I tried working my way backwards to resolve the issue but I was unable to due to my lack of experience in java.

The error message I am receiving. All of my other classes are functioning except this one. I tried re-initialising the constructors but nothing helped.
