The Questions

1. Class Model

Using Python, please define a class model to implement the following specification:

A company has a staffing model which includes Employees, Contractors, and Temporaries. We want an object model which implements this structure. The expected behavior for the classes is documented below:

Employee:
Constructor: accepts First Name, Last Name, Pay Rate, Yearly Vacation (num days)
Public Methods: get_name - returns the employee’s name in the format “Last Name, First Name"
                get_pay_rate - returns hourly pay rate (dollars / hour)
                get_yearly_vacation - returns the amount of yearly vacation for the employee
 
Contractor:
Constructor: accepts First Name, Last Name, Pay Rate, Agency Name (Note: By policy, all contractors have 0 days of vacation)
Public Methods: get_name - returns the contractor's name in the format “Last Name, First Name [ C ]"
                get_pay_rate - returns hourly pay rate (dollars / hour)
                get_yearly_vacation - returns the amount of yearly vacation for the contractor
                get_agency - returns the name of the contracting agency that represents the contractor
 
 
Temporary:
Constructor: accepts First Name, Last Name, Pay Rate, Agency Name (Note: By policy, all temporaries have 0 days of vacation)
Public Methods: get_name - returns the contractor's name in the format “Last Name, First Name [ T ]"
                get_pay_rate - returns hourly pay rate (dollars / hour)
                get_yearly_vacation - returns the amount of yearly vacation for the temporary
                get_agency - returns the name of the temp agency that represents the temporary

2. Code Review

If you were a code reviewer, what feedback would you provide on the below function. Provide as much feedback as you can:

def CompareSwapSizeInMb(self, swap1, swap2):
    if self.OSType == "Linux":
        if swap1 < swap2:
            return False
    return True
