C++ Dynamic Payroll System

This is an assignment that I am working on. I am having trouble getting my program to open the file that I specified. I would also like feedback and suggestions on things that I should maybe change a little. Only in my first year of computer science.

I think the problem is here. The file that is supposed to be opened is "employees.txt".

    void payroll::read_employee_data(string file_name) 
    {
        ifstream inFile;
        inFile.open(file_name);
        if (!inFile)
        {
            cout << "Unable to read the file\n";
            exit(1);
        }
        inFile >> total_employees; // the first number is total number of employees;
        inFile >> check_number;
        names = new string[total_employees];
        hourly_wages = new float[total_employees];
        employee_ids = new int[total_employees];
        hours_worked = new int[total_employees];
        for (int i = 0 ; i < total_employees ; i++)
        {
            inFile >> names[i] >> employee_ids[i] >> hourly_wages[i] >> hours_worked[i];
        }
        inFile.close();
    }

I feel like I am on the right track with the store_employee_data function. If there is anything wrong please let me know

    void payroll::store_employee_data()
    {
        ofstream outFile;
        outFile.open(payroll_file);
        outFile << total_employees << '\n';
        outFile << check_number << '\n';
        for (int i = 0 ; i < total_employees ; i++)
        {
            outFile << names[i] << endl <<
                    employee_ids[i] << endl <<
                    hourly_wages[i] << endl <<
                    hours_worked[i] << endl;
        }
        outFile.close();
    }

I also need help with the print function. Am I going in the right direction with this?

    void payroll::print_employee_info(int employee_id)
    {
        cout << "Please enter the employee ID: ";
        cin >> employee_id;
        for (int i = 0; i < total_employees; i++) {
            cout << "Printing information for employee " << employee_id << endl;
            cout << "Employee Name: " << names[i] << endl;
            cout << "Hourly Wages: " << hourly_wages[i] << endl;
            cout << "Hours Worked: " << hours_worked[i] << endl;
        }
    }
