C#

public class Person
{
    public virtual void Salary()
    {

    }
}

public class Employee : Person
{
    public override void Salary()
    {
        // Person.Salary
        base.Salary();
    }
}

public class Manager : Employee
{
    public override void Salary()
    {
        // Employee.Salary
        base.Salary();
    }
}

If you don't want one class to call its base class method it is up to you to implement the logic.

Solution 1

There is no language supported way to do this.

You could add a separate protected function to the Person class that calls it's Salaray function and call that from the Manager class. You would need to make sure that a function with the same name was never defined in the Employee class.
