radio button for two diffrent bool property in MVC5

hi all,
i have 2 properties in model and two radio buttons in view page and after selecting radio button value as true, model value getting as false always ,

this is my problem , i have tried a lot still i didn't find soultion

please provide soultion regarding this.

i have tried below code

Model :-

public bool AdministratorRefundAccess { get; set; }
public bool EmployerRefundAccess { get; set; }

View :-

@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.AdministratorRefundAccess, new { @Name = "SelectedValue" })

@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.EmployerRefundAccess,new { @Name = "SelectedValue" })

Here comes a quick solution, let you have following properties in Model -

public bool Admin { get; set; }
public bool Employer{ get; set; }
public string SelectedValue { get; set; }

Then your HTML should be like this -

@Html.RadioButtonFor(Model => Model.Admin, "Admin", new { @Name = "SelectedValue" })
@Html.RadioButtonFor(Model => Model.Employer, "Employer", new { @Name = "SelectedValue" })

Then when you submit the form, you will get the selected value in SelectedValue property.

EDIT To Address @StephenMuecke point, created the below solution -

Create a enum -

public enum Salarydetails
{
Admin,Employer
}

Then have a model property (instead of individual properties, have single emum property)

public Salarydetails SelectedValue { get; set; }

HTML should be like below -

@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedValue, Salarydetails.Admin)
@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedValue, Salarydetails.Employee)

Using above sample, one can pre-select a radiobutton, at the same time we can post the selected value in SelectedValue property.
