Java System.out.print

I am taking a class and I have developed this code for an assignment. I can compile and run the program just fine until I enter an hourly rate that has a decimal. Such a 30.25 then I receive an error message which I have attached. Can someone help me fix my code to accommodate the decimal? Im sure its a data type but I cant figure it out using my text.

import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner 
 
public class PayrollPart1 {
 
        // main method begins execution of Java application
 
        public static void main( String args[] )
        {
                
                // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
                Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
                
                String name; // employee name
                int rate; // hourly rate
                int hours; // hours worked
                int weeklypay; // sum of rate and hours
 
                System.out.print( "Enter Employee Name: " ); // user prompt for name
                name = input.nextLine(); // retrieve employee name from input
                        
                System.out.print( "Enter Employee Hourly Rate: " ); // user prompt for employee hourly rate
                rate = input.nextInt(); // retrieve hourly rate from input
                
                System.out.print( "Enter Employee Hours Worked: " ); // user prompt employee hours for week
                hours = input.nextInt(); // retrieve weekly hours from input
                
                weeklypay = rate * hours; // calculate weekly pay
                
                System.out.println( "Employee: " + name ); // displays employee's name
                System.out.println( "Total Pay: $" + weeklypay ); // displays weekly pay
 
        } // end method main
 
} // end class PayrollPart1
