How to pass variables to a class

Question

I have been working on this code for quite some time now and I had posted it before but then after fixing that problem another problem arose so I created a new post with the name of this problem. Ok the problem is that I am obviously not passing the variables to the Administrator class the right way. I have tried two ways which is all my book shows and both have given me an error that says error C2512: 'SalariedEmployee' : no appropriate default constructor available". I have tried

Answer 1

Administrator(string t, string r, string s, double sa); will attempt to call the default constructor of the base class if you don't specify another. (a default constructor is one that can be called without any arguments)

The base class doesn't have a default constructor, ergo the error.

To call another constructor of the base class:

Administrator::Administrator(string t, string r, string s, double sa) :  
SalariedEmployee(<args>), //base constructor call
title(t), responsi(r), super(s), salary(sa) //members
{
}
