The program is a basic employee management system defined across two files. It allows for the creation of employee profiles, assessing retirement eligibility based on years of employment, and applying a 10% pay raise to an employee's salary.

1. employee.py is a module that contains the definition of the employees class.


2. Inside the employees class, the __init__ method initialises four attributes: name, role, salary, and years_employed.


3. The retirement method checks the years_employed attribute. If it's 10 or more, it prints that the employee can retire; otherwise, it states the employee cannot retire.


4. The payrise method calculates a 10% increase in the employee's salary and updates the salary attribute.


5. In main.py, the employees class is imported from the employee.py module.


6. The main function is defined, which contains the main logic of the program.


7. Inside the main function, two instances of the employees class are created: employee1 and employee2.


8. The program then prints the name and salary of employee2.


9. It displays the current salary of employee1.


10. The payrise method is called on employee1 to increase their salary by 10%.


11. The new salary of employee1 is printed, reflecting the pay rise.


12. The if __name__ == "__main__": statement checks if main.py is being run as the main program.


13. If main.py is the main program, the main function is executed, running the logic defined within it.


14. The output when main.py is executed:

Employee 2 name: Roger
Employee 2 salary: 67800.21
Employee 1 salary: 121074.40
Employee 1 receives 10% payrise, new salary: 133181.84
