Note employeeID is not the global catalog.

It may also not be readable by the user.

employeeID needs to be entered by your AD admins, are you sure the accounts have this attribute?

AD has hundreds of attributes, I found it was best to list only the attributes you want.

Also found testing ldap queries of AD using openldap and ADSI edit to be very helpful to see what is really returned and if the accounts have the attribute set.

With IDP 2 I used to create a username for only one specific SP and used:
<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="enc:SAML2String" nameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified"  name="username" />

You can't manufacture an attribute out of thin air. If you tell it to get it from LDAP, then your LDAP connector has to retrieve it. Some people do a search for all attributes but many don't.
