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?

mktemp(3C) Standard C Library Functions mktemp(3C)
NAME
mktemp - make a unique file name from a template
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
char *mktemp(char *template);
DESCRIPTION
The mktemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to by template with a unique file name, and returns template. The string
in template should look like a file name with six trailing 'X's; mktemp() will replace the 'X's with a character string that can be used to
create a unique file name. Only 26 unique file names per thread can be created for each unique template.
RETURN VALUES
The mktemp() function returns the pointer template. If a unique name cannot be created, template points to a null string.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generate a filename.
The following example replaces the contents of the "template" string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters "file" and
returns a pointer to the "template" string that contains the new filename.
#include <stdlib.h>
...
char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
char *ptr;
ptr = mktemp(template);
USAGE
Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for some other process to create a file with the same name. The
mkstemp(3C) function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.
