custom post type – page template

What are your custom fields? As in, did you create custom fields using the built in way (under screen options > custom fields) or did you create custom fields in the theme customiser panel.

You need to make sure that the template “employee-template.php” is calling the custom fields. There are different ways to get the info from different methods of making custom fields… especially if you have created your own admin interface for theme customization as opposed to used built in wordpress methods.

Also make sure that you have in fact created employee-template.php and are not falling back on the template hierarchy.

Hope that helps.
