OK, here's just one way. There are certainly others, probably someone will have
a better way, once this gets to the listserver,  but this does conform almost
line-for-line with your pseudocode:

-- Weekly pay report
-- A program that calculates the pay of an employee

include get.e

sequence name, job_performed, hrs_worked
atom hrs, pay
atom code

--Get employee data
puts(1, "Please enter employee name: ") name = gets(0)
puts(1, "\nEnter job performed: ")  job_performed = gets(0)
puts(1, "\nEnter number of hours worked: ") hrs_worked = gets(0)
puts(1, "\nEnter employee code\n (valid codes are "&
       "'J' for journeymen, 'A' for apprentice, and 'C' for casual labor):")
       code = getc(0)


--Calculate pay
hrs_worked = value(hrs_worked) -- convert from "string" to numeric
if hrs_worked[1] = GET_SUCCESS then
 hrs = hrs_worked[2] -- else will fail with hrs not assigned a value
end if

if code = 'J' then pay = hrs * 12
elsif code = 'A' then pay = hrs * 10
else pay = hrs * 8
end if

--Output results (using a couple of different print formatting methods)
puts(1, "\nEmployee name: "&name)
puts(1, "Job performed: "&job_performed)
printf(1, "Hours worked: %2.2f\n",hrs)
printf(1, "Wages: %4.2f" ,pay)
