The fact that you are using the select expression company/division suggests
that at the point where this variable is declared, the context node is the
root node of the document. (Perhaps it's even a global variable, who knows?)
However, in the code below, you test		

> 	<xsl:when test="employees/employee[@EID]">

without having changed the context node. If company/division selects
anything, then employees/employee won't. I suspect you meant to write
$employeeList/employees/employee - but I haven't checked whether that would
fix the problem.
