so I've been up trying to figure this out, so much that my code is probably off the wall.
Ask the user to enter payroll information for the company. Set up a loop that continues to ask for information until the user enters “DONE”. For each employee ask three questions:
name (first & last name together as a single response)
hours worked this week (only allow 1 through 60)
hourly wage (only allow 6.00 through 20.00)
here is my code SO FAR:

what's with the variable=""? I don't think you need to do that.

OP, you're doing numerical checking against strings. You have a while loop that will run forever at the beginning. Why don't you just give the fuck up and die?

OP, do the boring lessons first.
Google "Learn Python the hard way first."

If I interpret this correctly, the user should be asked the 3 questions over and over until they type DONE?

Ok OP, this is hardly perfect but should give the jist of it. Notice if you enter a non-numeric letter when asked for salary etc the program will crash. You need to handle this with exceptions. Also the data should probably be stored in a list or dictionary. But I assume this is early level python so we dont worry about that yet.
Anyway:
http://pastebin.com/Kbmu40q1 Notice I'm not the greatest python programmer, hope it helps.
I created loops inside the other loops, thats why in the first loop I could use break but in the sub-loops I had to use sys.exit() to exit the entire program, break would only get us out to the upper level loop.

Haven't written Python in awhile, but the idea would be something like this.

>>17256178 As I said, I haven't written Python in awhile, so there's probably a ton of syntax issues, but the logic is there.
