Attempting to loop back to the beginning to run my program again - c++

Question

I am currently writing a code where in my main function I am just calling other functions. I am attempting to reloop back to the begining so the user can run the program again. The main function is just to call functions so my question is I know it is not possible to go back to the main function, but is it possible to create a function that will loop all other functions again? I feel as though I tried everything and continue to get infinite loops. I attached my code.
To condense the code please understand that all variables/classes are declared
void instructions();
void full_outputs(string, double, double, double);
int main()
{
instructions();
employee_num = employee_ID();
//cout << employee_num << " This is the employee ID."<<endl;
base_salary = baseSalary();
//cout << base_salary << " This is the employee's base salary." <<endl;
per_commission = percentage_commission();
//cout << per_commission << " This is the employee's percentage commission." << endl;
base_commission = base_and_com(base_salary, per_commission);
cout<< base_commission << "This is the total base salary with comission" << endl;
gross_pay = grossPay(base_commission);
//cout << gross_pay << "This is the gross pay"<<endl;
state_tax_hold = stateTax_hold(gross_pay);
//cout<< state_tax_hold << "This is the state tax hold on the amount" <<endl;
fica_total = ficaTotal(gross_pay);
//cout << fica_total << " This is the fica hold on the amount" <<endl;
fed_tax = fedTax(gross_pay);
//cout << fed_tax << " THis is the federal tax hold on the amount" << endl;
total_tax_hold = withholding_total(state_tax_hold, fica_total, fed_tax);
//cout << total_tax_hold << " This is the total tax withholding" << endl;
net_pay = netPay(total_tax_hold, gross_pay);

full_outputs(employee_num, gross_pay, total_tax_hold, net_pay);
return 0;

As you know, in main you can just have a while loop with the code you want to repeat inside it:
int main()
{
// this will loop forever, until you explicitly break or return
while (true) {
// your code here
}
}
... but since you are constrained by the artificial limitation of only having function calls in main...
void run()
{
// this will loop forever, until you explicitly break or return
while (true) {
// your code here
}
}
int main()
{
run();
}
