No, that would be just

urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.3

Though I'd question the validity of this OID specifically, which is
below http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.html

I also see mention of this at
https://spaces.ais.ucla.edu/display/uctrustwg/UCTrust+OIDs though that
page itself states "released as inetOrgPerson:employeeNumber", which
might be the better practice.

No.
