Confusion with classes and global variables - class

Question

I've come to a halt in the making of my first project. I'm trying to make a timecard program. I decided to use class object to handle the variables locally, but I can't figure out how to create a class object from user input.
import time
import datetime
import sqlite3
class Employee(object):
def __init__(self, name, position, wage=0, totalpay=0, totalhours=0):
self.name = name
self.position = position
self.wage = wage
self.totalpay = totalpay
self.totalhours = totalhours
def HourlyPay(self):
if self.position not in range(1, 4):
return "%s is not a valid position" % self.position
elif self.position == 1:
self.wage = 105.00
elif self.position == 2:
self.wage = 112.50
elif self.position == 3:
self.wage = 118.50
return "%s at position %i is making %i DKK per hour" % (self.name, self.position, self.wage)
def Salary(self, hours):
self.hours = hours
self.totalpay += self.wage * self.hours
self.totalhours += self.hours
return "%s next salary will be %i DKK" % (self.name, self.totalpay)
# This is out Employee object
EmployeeObj = Employee('John Doe', 1) # Our Employee object
EmployeeObj.HourlyPay()
EmployeeObj.Salary(43) # Takes 'hours' as argument
# Temporary Database config and functions below
conn = sqlite3.connect('database.db')
c = conn.cursor()
# For setting up the database tables: name, position and total.
def Create_table():
c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS EmployeeDb(name TEXT, position INTEGER, total REAL)')
# Run to update values given by our Employee object
def Data_entry():
name = str(EmployeeObj.name)
position = int(EmployeeObj.position)
total = float(EmployeeObj.totalpay)
c.execute('INSERT INTO EmployeeDb (name, position, total) VALUES (?, ?, ?)',
(name, position, total))
conn.commit()
c.close()
conn.close()
return True
What I'm trying to achieve is to create this variable from user input:
EmployeeObj = Employee('John Doe', 1) # Our Employee object

Answer 1

May be you can do something like this:
name = input("Enter employee name:")
position = int(input("Enter employee position:"))
EmployeeObj = Employee(name, position)
