PayrollStatement is not the same thing as PayrollStatement. 
Mis-spellings cause unending problems when you attempt to compile.

The lines;

PayrollStatement paystate = PayrollStatement();
paystate.printEmployeeName();

need to be in the main() method.

public static void main(String[] args) {
	PayrollStatement ..............
	paystate.pr.................
}

Without a main() it isn't going to run even if it does compile.

You've got another problem with the semi-colon on the end of the 
function declaration for isEmpty().
