hi guys. I am new to java and I have problems with my java codes. I have problem adding text box after each label ID Code, Weight, Rate, Price Charge, it does not show when i run the code. Also, I am trying to make the prceCharge field to display the amount with the dollar sign in the box, not sure if the code is right.

It is a homework question, so we will only help you to find the answer yourself. Do no expect direct answers, the homeworks are there to teach you something.
For your missing elements, take one of the ones that does show and one of the ones that doesn't. Compare all places in the code when they appear.
These declarations within your constructor overwrite those declared as class members:
Code:
public PayrollApplication()
{
...
JTextField IDCodeField = new JTextField(20);
JTextField WeighttField = new JTextField(20);
JTextField RatetField = new JTextField(20);
JTextField priceChargetField = new JTextField(20);
...
Also, you will need to add these JTextFields to the JFrame, or better yet, add both the JLabel and JTextFields to a JPanel, and then add this JPanel to the JFrame.
