At first glance, it looks like you have no opening brace for int main().

Beyond that, I have found it very helpful NOT to use the style
C#
int main() {
 //code
}

Instead, I will use
C#
int main() 
  {
    //code
  }

Put the braces in their own column, indented from the block they start, line up the opening and closing braces and indent the code inside the block from the braces. When you have several pages of code to scan, you can simply pull out a pencil and a ruler and make sure everything lines up properly and that every opening has a closing.

This part of your code looks really strange:

// hours
int gethours() { return hours; }
void sethours(int hours) {
void retrievehours() {
cout << "How many hours? ";
int temp;
cin >> temp;
sethours(temp); }

I'm surprised you code compiles - you've got unbalanced braces all over the place and what would be nested functions (that C++ doesn't support) if you'd had the same number of opening and closing braces [1]. So go through your code making sure that for every opening brace there's a closing one - when you get to setwadges you'll see that you've started defining a function and then immediately started defining another one.

One final bit of advice - if you're not sure about how to spell things try running your source code through a speller or just check your variable names. If you've got weird spellings of things it can be very hard for people to work out what your code means.

Cheers,

[1] I've just run your code through a quick test on 6 compilers and none of them accepted it as you've presented it above. It didn't go anywhere near the linker.
