It is a bit difficult to comment on an incomplete script without any input samples, and the error msgs missing as well as some indicators where you are stuck. Which is what vbe tried to convey, I think.
A few observations on your script in post#5, as there are syntactical errors, plus semantical / logical / mathematical errors:
- awk (shell/*nix command) needs to be lower case (unless you aliased it)
- awk accepts a short program in its first parameter, so you must make sure the script is ONE string constant (e.g. by single quoting it)
- there is no input file to awk.
- getline (awk "action") needs to be lower case
- Overtime is weighted twice with its weighting factor.
- "equal" testing is done with == ; a single = is an assignment.
- wrong algorithm for the NetPay
- although pointed to by Scrutinizer, you're STILL using the “ char.
- your printf statement can't work: the format string is not sufficient, and the variables are not handled correctly (separate them from the format string)
And, what are you doing with the payroll variable read in the BEGIN section?

NAME
mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result
DESCRIPTION
bin/mkcover is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
be retried. It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities and transmitted as the cover
page. The arguments are:
qfile the job description file for the outbound job.
template the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.
result the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.
The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document. The
template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not the
template file contains compressed data.
