With regards to this part...
Employee() ;
Other constructor has all default parameters making
it ambiguous with this one -Galik

can you explain to me ? thanks in advance

Employee(char *EID = " ",char *Namep = " " ,char EType = '@',char *D = " ",char *TelNo = " ",int C = 0);

All parameters of that constructor have default value so you can also call it like Employee();. How will it decide on what constructor to call?
