Overloading methods

Question

I am trying to create an overloaded method to calculate an employee's rating whereby an integer is outputted when a String is entered in the console by the user. The first method I used to accomplish this was: public double calculateBonus(String rating) {

if (rating.equals("excellent")) {
Bonus = 500;
} else if (rating.equals("satisfactory")) {
Bonus = 300;
} else if (rating.equals("other")) {
Bonus = 0;
}
return Bonus;

}

What're alternative methods of accomplishing this? Thank you
