Bonus Calculator App

Objectives

  • Practice Read, Write, Speak, Teach skills
  • Solidify JavaScript knowledge
  • Translate business needs to code
  • Practice Group Work

Group setup

First, let's take a look at starting the project off with your group members in an effective manner:

intro

You are going to write a single JavaScript file to automatically calculate employee bonus for a company.

Data Structure

The company is providing you with a few samples of employee data of how their data is currently being stored. Each are stored in a global array named employees.

Employee Array

Each Employee currently is configured in this way:

  • The name property holds the employees name.
  • The employeeNumber property has their employee number.
  • The annualSalary property contains their base annual salary.
  • The reviewRating property contains their review rating.

Processing Employee Bonuses

Loop over the employees array and do the following:

  • use each employee object as the input to the function described below.
  • console.log the results of each iteration.

Function Logic

Write a declared function that takes in one Employee object (as an argument to the function), and returns a new object with the following properties:

  • The name property should contain the employee's name.
  • The bonusPercentage property should contain the bonus percentage the employee is to receive. See section below for calculation instructions.
  • The totalCompensation property should be the adjusted annual compensation (base annual + bonus)
  • The totalBonus should be the employee's total bonus rounded to the nearest dollar.

Individual Bonus calculation

  • Those who have a rating of a 2 or below should not receive a bonus.
  • Those who have a rating of a 3 should receive a base bonus of 4% of their base annual income.
  • Those who have a rating of a 4 should receive a base bonus of 6% of their base annual income.
  • Those who have a rating of a 5 should receive a base bonus of 10% of their base annual income.
  • If their employee number is 4 digits long, this means they have been with the company for longer than 15 years, and should receive an additional 5%.
  • However, if their annual income is greater than $65,000, they should have their bonus adjusted down 1%.
  • No bonus can be above 13% or below 0% total.

NOTE: You may abstract out this bonus calculation into a second function if you like, but this is not mandatory.

Stretch Goals

  • Put the output on the DOM (visually on the page).
  • Make the app run only after the user clicks on a button on the page
  • Then style the output, making it visually appealing.
