Fat Stacks Payroll

About

Dev challenge for a job application which tests object-oriented programming in Python.

A very simple object-oriented payroll app which displays a user interface, allowing a user to login and be verified using the attached authentication.txt file. Once verified the user can then query the employee and pay data (employees.txt, pays.txt), where the app must display and process a series of menu and sub-menu options.

Requires

python3.6

Prerequisites

Database

The following files are considered the "database" and hence are Git ignored:

These files must be placed in the root directory i.e. fat-stacks
